Investment Philosophy

"Long term success requires the determination of long term trends..."

• Atlantic's approach to money management is based upon the belief that interest rates are inherently cyclical, and therefore investment success is determined by the ability to understand the cyclical forces at play within the local and global economy.
• Long term success requires the determination of long term trends, which will most closely reflect true underlying economic fundamentals.
• Short term cycles are more prone to be influenced by non-fundamental issues, such as overoptimism, perceptions rather than reality, greed, fear and panic. The shorter the cycle the more likely that it is driven by investment noise. One cannot forecast or trade noise on a sustainable basis.
• Atlantic's belief is that investment portfolios should be crafted around the use of sustainable methodologies with a top-down focus aimed at investing based firstly on long term cycles.
• Such an approach is the most likely to deliver long term, sustainable investment success.
