ALCHEMY ASCENT FUND

Fund Snapshot

INVESTMENT PHILOSOPHY

• We believe that consistent and superior long-term absolute returns can be made across market cycles by investing in growth companies with good management teams.
• We like businesses that address large and growing external opportunities, have a competitive advantage in effectively exploiting those opportunities and have a scalable business model with a higher-than-average Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) over the investment horizon.
• We believe that management teams are key to business success. We look for managements that have aggression and are aligned to business outcomes while simultaneously having respect for governance and capital allocation.
• While growth companies form the core of the portfolio, we also tactically invest in deep value opportunities and special situations that may appear due to and during market cycles.
