Independent value investing.

Havelock London is a privately owned asset manager, with a value investing philosophy.  We invest in public market global equities through a single fund, WS Havelock Global Select.  

What guides every decision

Operating track record

Companies with a healthy return on invested capital with low leverage, a durable competitive position, and honest, capable management.

Value

A company's earnings, cashflow and balance sheet assets are all potential sources of value. Detailed analysis results in us forming a view of what it's worth.

Long-term outlook

Companies trading at a discount to our view of their intrinsic value. Being long-term and doing thorough research are our sources of edge.

Margin of safety

Our ability to foretell the future is limited. This means we seek investments that do not require undue optimism to think that they can produce an attractive return.

Discipline

An objective, structured process, which guards against emotional decision-making. This uses a combination of qualitative and quantitative analysis.

Healthy scepticism

We consider the views of others and speak to management where it helps, but always undertake our own research and form our own independent views.

Three kinds of holding

Like all classifications they are imperfect, but they provide a helpful lens through which to view the portfolio.

Core

Typically a mid-cap, under-researched company with a strong and durable competitive advantage and whose share price doesn’t fully reflect its long-term prospects.

 

Asset based

A company whose valuation is underpinned by owning a scarce or high-quality asset, which provides some natural inflation-proof characteristics.

Special situations

A fundamentally sound company that is undergoing change, has potential catalysts to unlock value, or is misunderstood.

WS Havelock Global Select

The fund invests in the shares of global companies and aims to achieve investment growth over 3–5 years. We invest our own money in it, alongside our clients.
