Investment Highlights
Cutting-Edge Investment Philosophy:
Built on the science of Collective Intelligence, pioneered by the Santa Fe Institute, the philosophy harnesses the power of diverse, independent inputs to enhance predictive accuracy. Savana’s proprietary, machine-driven implementation of this framework delivers an enduring edge in investment decision-making.
Sophisticated Technological Implementation:
Developed over a decade, the advanced technology platform is capable of analysing over 60,000 companies daily. A world-class valuation engine scans a broader and deeper investment universe than any human or traditional fund, systematically distilling complex, bottom-up data into high-conviction investment opportunities.
High-Conviction and Contrarian:
This fully digitalised investment approach isn’t designed to mimic human decision-making - but redefine it entirely. Unlike their peers, Savana are unconstrained by conventional thinking. Accordingly, they think and behave differently to other fund managers, including (i) holding stocks that other’s don’t (ii) buying stocks when others are selling (and vice versa) (iii) holding fewer positions; and (iv) rebalancing more frequently. These contrarian characteristics generate highly differentiated portfolios, capable of delivering significantly outsized performance.
Exceptional Performance:
Paper-Trade Performance Highlights (1-Jul-22 to 7-Nov-24):
- +130.17% total return over the paper-trading period, outperforming the benchmark by +88.86%.

Company Overview

Savana is on a mission to disrupt traditional funds management by leveraging technology to uncover hidden value in overlooked segments of the market. At the core of Savana’s approach is a belief that no single investor - no matter how skilled - can consistently out-think the market. But when diverse, independent perspectives are aggregated systematically, they can yield a powerful edge. This is the essence of Collective Intelligence - the idea that crowds, when properly filtered and synthesized, make better decisions than individuals. Savana codifies this empirical philosophy into technology.
Every day, our proprietary technology platform evaluates over 60,000 securities, distilling complex, bottom-up data into high-conviction positions. This is active management reimagined: philosophy embedded in code, executed at machine speed.
