        Environmental

        The key variable is efficient energy use. Technology already allows for an energy transition to zero emission; growth in this area has only just begun.

        The companies included in our portfolio strive to achieve energy self-sufficiency. We also select companies with a product that helps society in achieving that goal. Moreover, we potentially invest in the whole value chain of energy efficiency.

        We consider other relevant variables such as CO2 emissions, water usage and waste management.

        Caseta en bosque - NAO

        Social

        The social dimension encompasses the impact of the company’s activities on employees, customers, suppliers and, in a broader sense, society. In companies where human capital is crucial, such as consulting firms, advertising agencies or engineering firms, a favourable social policy mitigates operational risk.

        Governance

        Corporate governance is the system of rules, practices and procedures by which a company is directed and controlled. Good governance involves balancing the interests of a company’s different stakeholders such as shareholders, management team, customers, etc. Therefore, a sound governance provides stability by establishing clear and effective accountability mechanisms. In short, it reflects the strength of the company’s principles and values.

        Financial criteria

        Financial criteria

        We adhere to a consistent and meticulous investment process.

        Financial analysis

        We are long term investors; a great company always has an allocation in our portfolio because it constantly meets expectations.


        Companies are worth what they generate, we focus on their cash generation.


        We invest in quality companies that can maintain their competitive advantage.


        We select business without financial burdens. The less debt, the better.


        For us, a sound order book signals a healthy company.


        We prioritize current facts rather than prospective figures.


        Aggregate portfolio analysis

        We analyse the correlation between each stock and the whole portfolio, considering variables such as economic cycle, interest rates, inflation and market risk. We thoughtfully diversify our portfolio to protect ourselves against unexpected situations and potential errors.

        Risk aversion

        We avoid the permanent capital loss, although we are not concerned about temporary volatility in market prices. Permanent capital loss typically occurs when buying overpriced stocks, businesses in a predicament or highly indebted companies. Therefore, we avoid such situations.

        Margin of safety

        Margin of safety occurs when the market price of a security is significantly below to our estimation of its intrinsic value. We invest in situations where the quoted price offers a wide margin of safety, because this provides a cushion against errors in analyst judgment or calculation, while at the same time, enables us to obtain a reasonable return with lower volatility than the market.

We invest in situations where the quoted price offers a wide margin of safety, because this provides a cushion against errors in analyst judgment or calculation, while at the same time, enables us to obtain a reasonable return with lower volatility than the market.

        In the short term, the market has an emotional and impulsive behaviour, so price and value seldom come together. As times goes by, rationality appears, and price and value eventually converge. Those temporary discrepancies between value and price, resulting from the irrationality of the market, create great investment opportunities.


        Investment process

        Investment process

        We look for companies that can create stable value and that are undervalued for temporary reasons.

        The cornerstone of our investment process is the fundamental analysis of a company. We carry out in-depth research considering the following factors:

        We analyse the business and the sector in which the company operates, paying special attention to its structural growth, regulatory framework, level of concentration of customers, suppliers and competitors. All these variables will indicate the pricing and market power of the company.

        Dibujo de bombilla sostenible de NAO

        We analyse the quality of the business, its historical evolution and potential strength and weakness. We invest with a purely entrepreneurial approach.

        We constantly evaluate how the macroeconomic environment can influence the businesses in which we are invested.

        Our job is to preserve and increase our clients' savings, for them to enjoy their future wealth at ease.


        As we are invested in our funds, we invest our client´s money as if it were our own.


        A comprehensive investment approach must integrate sustainable and financial criteria. Those companies capable of promoting solutions, goods and services in a sustainable manner will be the winners in the mid and long term. The implementation of sustainable variables in the valuation method helps to complete the financial and fundamental information of a company.
