Investment strategy

The Australian Equities High Conviction Portfolio is our flagship strategy offering investors exposure to a long-term, concentrated portfolio of high conviction, high quality stocks that offer attractive valuation.

The Portfolio adopts DNR Capital’s investment philosophy, of owning large-cap, quality companies. We define quality companies as those with earnings strength, superior industry position, sound balance sheet, strong management and ESG risk assessment. Our assessment of a company’s quality is overlaid with a detailed valuation assessment where we are seeking to exploit mispriced, market inefficiencies.   

The Portfolio is long-only, “style neutral” and invests over a period of three-to-five years
