Investment Philosophy

Abakkus follows a patient, value-conscious philosophy. The firm focuses on identifying underpriced, high-potential growth stocks through a structured yet flexible approach:

  • Alpha Generators: Investments target scalable mid-cap companies expected to become future large caps.
  • Fundamentally Driven: Emphasis on strong balance sheets, actual earnings vs. expected, and real returns.
  • Contrarian Thinking: Willing to be first movers in new opportunities, even during market disinterest.
  • Agility: Investment is based on merit, not restricted to sectors or themes.
  • Risk-Reward Equation: Return potential is carefully evaluated against underlying risks.

Patience: A ‘buy and hold’ mindset treats stock ownership as a business partnership.

Investment Framework – MEETS

Abakkus employs its proprietary MEETS framework to evaluate and filter investment opportunities:

  • M – Management: Evaluate leadership quality, capital allocation, and fairness to minority shareholders.
  • E – Earnings: Focus on earnings visibility, structural growth, and companies with profit-doubling potential.
  • E – Events/Trends: Analyze macro/micro events, disruption, and thematic triggers.
  • T – Timing: Strategic entry and exit based on valuations and market cycles.
  • S – Structural: Identify companies with sustainable competitive advantages (moats) and large opportunity size.
