HOW WE EXIT POSITIONS


WE GENERALLY EXPECT LONG HOLDING PERIODS

 As high conviction investors, our focus is on owning companies for a long period of time
 A thematic approach leads the Fund to investment opportunities in non-cyclical companies

Sell discipline focuses on two pillars:

Fundamentals
Pillar 1

Portfolio positions are monitored frequently of a company changes,

the position will be re-evaluated immediately exited, in
contrast to holding
