Our Investment Approach

Barrantagh’s fundamental value investment style is focused on identifying quality companies that can be purchased below intrinsic value. Target investments display a combination of lower than average cyclicality, conservative use of leverage, proven management and above average ESG profiles. Our quality focus delivers low portfolio risk measures including volatility, beta and downside market capture. We believe that focusing portfolios on our best ideas is the best approach to generating alpha and as such we deliver benchmark agnostic portfolios limited to 20 – 40 securities per strategy. As value investors we understand the importance of long-term investing (low portfolio turnover) and that share prices compound with earnings growth over time.

Balanced Mandates & Foundations – Boutique Advantage

Barrantagh’s roots in the private wealth sector – an area dominated by balanced and multi- asset class mandates – helped shape our investment disciplines which focus on conservatism in our research efforts, focused 20-40 securities per mandate and capital preservation. Paramount to capital preservation and downside protection is active asset mix management versus client benchmarks. Our asset allocation decisions are valuation driven and tend to capture the mid-term risk-reward opportunity in contrast with frequent short-term moves around the benchmark. Active asset mix has contributed a substantial portion of our value-added versus the benchmark. In fact, over the last 10 years 42% of our value added over the benchmark was attributable to our asset allocation decisions. Global equities added 34%and Canadian equities contributed 24% of the total value added over the benchmark.
