Our Montaka Active Extension strategy strives for maximised return over the long-term. Owning the Montaka long portfolio typically scaled up to approximately 130 percent - and the Montaka short portfolio typically scaled down to approximately 30 percent – this strategy results in a net market exposure of approximately 100 percent most of the time.

Our Montaka variable net strategy strives for significant downside protection – but with minimal upside reduction. Focused on owning the world’s great and growing businesses when they are undervalued, while managing a portfolio of short positions in businesses that are deteriorating, misperceived, and overvalued, this strategy is our flagship long-short offering.

Our Montgomery Global strategy strives to act as a core, high conviction, global portfolio holding.

Who are the businesses of the future?

For successful investors, searching for the truly great businesses of the future will always remain the primary concern.

- Andrew Macken

 

In football, a successful player does not run to where the ball was, or where it is right now. They run to where the ball is going to be. The same idea is followed by successful investors. They are typically less interested in the successful businesses of yesteryear, or even today’s success stories. For successful investors, searching for the truly great businesses of the future will always remain the primary concern.

In 1957, the S&P 500 – an index of the largest 500 US-listed companies – was created. At the time, American Telephone and Telegraph (now known as AT&T) was the heaviest-weighted stock in the index. Today, AT&T (NYSE: T) still scrapes into the top 10. But today’s top 10 are dominated by new businesses, many of which did not even exist back in the 1950s, including: Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), established in 1977; Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), established in 1997; and Facebook (NASDAQ): FB), established in 2004.

At Montaka Global, we believe that the price of a business and the value of a business are two different things. Over the medium term, value acts as a magnet for price; but over the short term, the two can deviate from each other – thereby creating opportunities to buy and sell. This idea is the core premise of value investing.
