WHAT MAKES OUR STRATEGY SIMILAR TO THAT OF OUR VALUE PEERS?

9 We seek profitability in absolute terms and not in relation to benchmark


indices.

9 Equally, we consider risk in absolute terms, defining it as the possibility of


losing the money invested and not in terms of volatility or deviation with
respect to a particular benchmark index.

9 We are asset managers, not asset gatherers.

9 We invest in companies that are trading at a reasonable discount to their


true economic value.

9 Patience. We are in it for the long term and we are happy to wait.
