Investment Philosophy

Equitable Investors believes the greatest opportunities to generate significant returns from equity investments are through the pursuit of attractively-priced investments in businesses with strong growth prospects and/or strategic value.
Successful investment in businesses requires diligent research and analysis of each business, its key people, its industry, its opportunities and its risks. It also requires ongoing, disciplined and patient re-evaluation.

Investment Strategy

Investments will primarily be made in micro-to-mid cap companies listed on the ASX. Larger listed businesses will also be considered for investment but are not expected to meet the manager’s investment criteria as regularly as smaller peers.
Equity in businesses that are unlisted or listed on exchanges other than the ASX may also come into consideration but the manager would require high confidence in the potential for a liquidity event at an attractive price.
