Our investment philosophy has been shaped by some of the greatest and most influential value investors of the modern era and brings with it an approach that is both pragmatic and tailored to the nuances of the Australian market. Fundamentally, we believe that:

The Collins St Global Fund, our flagship long-only global equities value fund, has delivered 20.5% p.a. net return (unaudited) since inception in February 2024 (as at 31 July 2026).
