investment philosophy
Work environment is a "safe" place for opinions and independent thought
"Hunt as a pack" particularly for cross-border market structure changes
Consistent measurement and feedback are the keys to improving as investors
Focus on alpha generation
team based culture Team members may own a view point, but not a name or region
Focus on utility market structure changes - generally slower to be priced into the stocks
Take advantage of the global utility sector's low regional correlations
Focus on the risk/reward proposition, not the greatest absolute return potential
• Build conviction by first eliminating possibilities
focused, sector-driven approach • cash flow is paramount
Sizing is most important risk step
• Keep risk model discipline - mitigate selective memory and bias
rigorous risk management • When in doubt. get out

Interest rate risk (e.g. regulated utilities, company leverage. etc.)
Plethora of financial measures

Absolute and relative stop loss flags
capital metrics Real time alpha and beta attribution by regions and main sectors
Thesis write-ups for all positions - consistently reevaluate thesis and avoid thesis creep
