Purpose

Purpose of why and how we invest…

  • intellectual challenge of putting to practice all I’ve learned;
  • foray into active stock picking
  • constructing an aggressive, high risk sleeve as part of a “barbell”-type “bucket” personal asset allocation
  • experiment to see whether the academic and practitioner theories could work in an optimal combination in the complex real world
The Funds

“To achieve strong risk-adjusted returns and grow/ preserve capital through investing in global markets with an data-driven, evidence-based, yet simplified process”. 

  • Valedictory Fund I: to combine my experience in asset allocation, portfolio construction, manager research, institutional endowment style of investing with individual, retail products.
  • Valedictory Fund II: to proxy private equity investments with undervalued micro-cap stocks, combining the well-researched factor premiums.
