Governance

Evidence, accountability and accurate communication guide ABCD’s approach to investment decisions and public research.

These principles connect the investment case, the risks taken and the information we publish. They provide a basis for evaluating decisions as evidence and conditions change.

Investment standards

Evidence before conviction

An investment idea should be supported by research, market evidence, valuation and source review. The strength of a view depends on the evidence behind it, including information that challenges the original case.

Research should distinguish observed facts from assumptions. A compelling explanation alone does not establish business quality, fair value or the likelihood of a catalyst.

Risk-aware judgment

Portfolio decisions should consider downside, liquidity, concentration and deterioration in the investment case. These considerations inform whether capital is committed, how a position is sized and when exposure may need to change.

The Investment Process and Risk Management pages explain these disciplines in more detail. Research and limits cannot guarantee an outcome or prevent loss.

A reviewable investment case

An investment view should set out its thesis, assumptions, material risks and reasons to reconsider or exit. A clear record helps distinguish a change in price from a change in the underlying case.

Accountability includes revisiting the reasoning as new evidence emerges. Confidence in an initial decision should not prevent reassessment.

Responsible investment

Business governance, regulatory exposure, reputation and sustainability-related risks may matter to a company’s durability and value. ABCD may consider these factors where they are financially material to the investment thesis.

This is an investment-risk perspective. It does not establish an ESG mandate or imply a formal voting programme, exclusion policy or climate commitment.

Publication standards

Public communication should make clear what is known, what is estimated and where uncertainty remains. Objectives, scenarios and illustrative examples should be identified as such, with relevant assumptions and limitations.

Date and attribution
Public research is dated and attributed so readers can identify its context.
Sources and methodology
Source and methodology information accompanies analysis where relevant, helping readers assess its basis and limitations.
Public material
The report library contains approved public publications. Draft, internal, restricted and unresolved material is excluded.
