About
Northcape Capital is an international boutique fund manager fully owned by its staff.
We specialise in managing concentrated high-quality equity portfolios for clients.
Our fundamental investment research focuses on identifying quality businesses with sound balance sheets, strong management, above average growth prospects and high returns on equity. Our expertise lies in our ability to look through the noise of short-term market movements and invest in businesses that have a meaningful competitive advantage.
Our unique multiple portfolio manager approach allows our portfolio managers the freedom to use their experience and judgement to make investment decisions individually rather than by consensus. Under this approach our portfolio managers focus on their best investment ideas to generate performance. This creates accountability, an environment that optimises knowledge sharing and provides our clients with access to the experience and knowledge of all our investment team.
Protecting capital is an important element of our investment approach. We have a strong and practical approach to risk that focuses on avoiding companies that are structurally challenged, highly geared or have poor governance standards.
