What makes us different – Investment approach

Since its creation, our Multiple Portfolio Manager System has provided a consistent and sustainable way of delivering consistently superior long-term investment results to our clients.

More than 50 years ago, we developed a unique approach to managing portfolios that blends teamwork with individual accountability: the Multiple Portfolio Manager System (MPMS).

Multiple Portfolio Manager System

How does it work? Each portfolio is divided into smaller segments that are independently managed by individual portfolio managers that have different yet complementary investment styles, backgrounds and industry experience.

Conviction
Each individual investment professional invests only in their highest conviction ideas. What results is a collection of concentrated, high- conviction portfolios focused on delivering superior investment returns over the long-term. In our system, there is no group decision making, no voting, or decisions made by committee.

Diversity
Blending complementary views, experiences and investment approaches can help achieve consistent results over the long term. Given the long experience of our portfolio managers at Capital, we are able to match investment professionals whose styles we know well.

Continuity
The MPMS facilitates smooth transitions between portfolio managers. When a portfolio manager exits the fund, only a relatively small portion of the portfolio is affected. Furthermore, the MPMS provides a 'deep bench' – as most portfolio managers serve as analysts within the same portfolio prior to becoming a PM, demonstrating how natural transitions occur within the MPMS.
