TT is an active, conviction-based manager which follows an absolute return/high alpha strategy, seeking positive absolute returns for their hedge funds and aiming for excess returns above relevant benchmarks for their long-only products. The firm believes that markets are structurally inefficient because they insufficiently discount geopolitical and other macro factors and because persistent behavioral biases cause asset prices to diverge from underlying fair value. They also believe that optimal results come from extracting value and protecting capital through all means available, including country allocation, thematic plays, sector rotation, stock selection and currency management. TT believes that success in global markets depends on integrating informed top-down views with robust company analysis. They perform fundamental analysis to identify asset mispricing and select stock based on pragmatic thinking, being flexible on style and choose valuation tools and risk factors on a case by case basis. The firm's research platform is central to their success and peer debate drives their research expertise and idea generation. All their strategies benefit from their operational platform and robust risk management and individual decision-makers are accountable. Their comprehensive risk management approach is fully embedded into their investment process and includes an iterative process between portfolio managers and the Risk Management team to best understand and manage portfolio, liquidity and counterparty risk. TT constructs concentrated portfolios comprised of their best ideas, selling stocks when they reach their price targets, when the investment case has changed, or to make room for better ideas.
