How We Manage Money
Investment Philosophy

Hyperion believes in investing in growth companies that are able to demonstrate a sustainable competitive advantage.

What we believe (philosophy) Investments should out-perform the risk-free rate. High quality growth companies out-perform over the longer term. The price one pays determines the ultimate long-term return.

Market inefficiency Performance and risk are measured against an index. Investment houses and their research are focused on the sell side and trade execution. Sentiment determines share prices which are not related to fundamental value.

What we do (process) Without an index tracking restraint we can focus on the clients' requirements of wealth creation. Sustainable excess growth in earnings leads to greater returns to shareholders. There is disciplined buying of businesses with superior economics at attractive entry points.

Our investment approach is aimed at maximising the likelihood of creating portfolios that will produce above benchmark returns over rolling 5 year periods. We believe that by buying high quality and predictable businesses at prices that offer attractive medium term returns, we will achieve our aim.

We focus on the level of predictability of a business’s medium term future economic performance because the more predictable the future cash flows, the more confident we will be that our forecasts will be achieved.
