01The Office
Investing with experience.
Thinking independently.
Frédéric Denjoy leads the research and makes the investment decisions. The office invests private capital with a focus on understanding companies, their competitive position and the forces that change their value.

02Our Approach
Understand the business.
Recognise what changes.
A research discipline developed through institutional equity investing, centred on the drivers of business value.
01Know the business
Start with the business model, its cash generation and the industry in which it operates. Build an understanding of the company across cycles, including its customers, competitors and regulatory environment.
Research focusBusiness economics · Cash flow · Industry structure · Management quality
02Identify the change
Look for a meaningful shift in the company’s prospects: a new management team, a change in the competitive environment or a new product. Assess whether that shift can translate into lasting improvements in business value.
Research focusManagement change · Competitive dynamics · Product development · Execution
03Test the investment case
Compare alternative scenarios, valuation and the timing of potential catalysts. Challenge the assumptions, identify where the analysis could be wrong and adapt exposure as the balance of opportunity and risk changes.

“Will this be a structurally better and more valuable business model in three years’ time?”
