Mundane provides advice to funds that seek long-term capital appreciation through investment in the equities of world leading companies. The investment strategy recognises that to prosper winning corporations must have outstanding
management and the ability to take their products to the global marketplace.
Our investment philosophy of seeking out world leaders is based, on the probability, but not certainty, of the enduring nature of these winners. Generally, we seek out companies with sound capital structure, superior and sustainable
financial returns and enduring competitive advantage.
We don't advise investment in the famous for being famous. Instead, we search for businesses priced in the stockmarket cheaply in relation to their intrinsic value. Our method harks back to the process laid down by Benjamin Graham;
an approach which affords plenty of upside but also maintains a good margin of safety.
"The most successful, best-managed companies continue to extend their reach; they are determining the shape of competition in locations far beyond their borders.
Those investors who fail to grasp the nuances of global competition pick stocks at their peril."
