How we invest

At SWIP, our main aim is simple: to provide every one of our investors with consistent, superior returns on their investments. We believe that the key to achieving this is fundamental in-house research that identifies the true long-term worth of an asset.

Asset prices are often driven by short-term factors and fail to fully account for medium and long-term influences. By conducting our own thorough research, and focusing on the medium to long term, we believe we position ourselves to take advantage of opportunities presented by market mis-pricing.

Our research emphasises detailed, bottom-up analysis of individual assets carried out against a background of wider global economic research. We believe that this provides an in-depth understanding and that our long-term emphasis gives us a significant edge over the market as a whole.

We also adopt a team-based approach to investment decision making, encouraging the free flow of ideas across asset classes and business areas. This, in turn, leads to an environment in which we can make informed investment decisions. To accommodate this, our innovative research portal provides a platform for our people to share their best ideas with colleagues.

Overall, we firmly believe we have the resources, knowledge, experience and skill required to provide our investors with superior investment returns
