Oxeye Philosophy
A large proportion of institutional investing is focused on relative returns. At Oxeye, we believe that this relative return approach does not satisfy all investors because:
- 'Absolute' losses will probably be incurred in falling markets
- Outperformance will not always be obtained in rising markets
We believe there is demand for alternative investment management skills which are complementary to the fund management industry's traditional skill of stock selection and which produce superior absolute returns in all market environments whilst not compromising risk management.
From experience we know that the best way to do this is by:
- Creating a disciplined methodology, which on an unleveraged basis produces a consistent absolute return combined with a good risk profile.
- Using gearing to maximise performance.
- Employing tight risk control procedures to manage market exposure.
The practical application of the Oxeye philosophy has produced superior, long term, absolute performance, as shown in the cumulative returns of all Oxeye FTSE Managed accounts in aggregate since 1997.
