The Axiom Approach

Axiom’s fundamental, consistent, and transparent Dynamic Growth philosophy is implemented through a clearly defined, well-structured, and empirical process.

Our Alpha Drivers

By focusing on three clearly defined alpha drivers, our objective is to compound capital over the long-term and deliver risk-adjusted relative outperformance by fundamentally investing in quality, dynamic growth businesses.

Forward-looking, empirical focus on medium-term fundamental operational drivers to invest ahead of the curve before positive changes are recognized in management forecasts or consensus estimates.

Sustainable performance tailwinds from compounding of earnings with focus on underlying organic growth rate, profitability, returns, cash generation, balance sheet integrity and ESG alignment.

Holistic assessment of valuation to confirm upside potential and mitigate downside risks.

Analysis

Holistic assessment of all key micro and macro stock drivers calibrated both in absolute terms as well as relative to market expectations to arrive at a consistent, proprietary, and transparent firmwide risk and return rating.

Action

Adjustment

Differentiated Approach to ESG

We believe that positive changes in the ESG characteristics of companies can influence their relative share price performance and we fully integrate this forward-looking approach to ESG into our Dynamic Growth philosophy and investment process.
