At Value Portfolio Managers we believe that our approach to investment is distinctive. It is founded in the pursuit of value. We know the difference between a good investment at a discount, a share that is simply cheap, and a popular investment that is overpriced. We also have the conviction in our pursuit of value to act on the knowledge of this difference even in the face of uncertain or exuberant market sentiment. We favour consistent and sustainable return over opportunistic return and seek out companies and investments that will provide our clients with this return. The companies we invest in must show sustainable growth in earnings, high cash flows and dividends, proven management, and lower levels of operational and financial risk. Price is our most crucial element of control and we ensure that the investments of our clients are held at favourable valuations relative to economic, financial and operational realities.
We believe that a good investment is the purchase of something whose usefulness will more than repay the cost. Therefore, we want our clients to have investments that are able to beat the cost of capital and maximise their future value. Discuss your portfolio with us →

Starting in 1999 with pension capital, it has performed well above purchasing power or above its Inflation +4% target return ever since. Read more →
