And we compound our investors capital through disciplined, repeatable processes.

Our Strategy

Our Strategy

At its core we believe investors should be paid for taking equity market risk.  

Our investment philosophy is based on the fact that the volatility of share prices is often higher than the volatility of corporate cash flows – we seek to exploit this difference.

Our Process

Our Integrated Process

Our alternative, integrated investment process combines fundamental bottom-up research across our universe of global equities with a unique implementation approach.

By marrying the return earned from owning equities (the equity risk premium) with the return generated through implementation (the volatility risk premium), we create multiple levers of return, with less market risk and lower volatility.

See how this works from our CIOs Chad Padowitz and Hugh Selby-Smith.

Our values

How we do things is as important as what we do.

People

Not talent, personnel, resumes, candidates, clients, or customers. We work with people. We recruit people. We celebrate people. Diversity is a source of strength and it will drive us forward, and we recognise that Talaria is the brand, not the individual.

Discipline

Fantastic and relentless discipline. It’s about the long term, but doing the role day-by-day and getting better at it with each step. ​We relish it and see that over time it will make Talaria more successful as a whole. ​

Innovation

An entrepreneurial spirit runs through our company. We act with conviction, embrace the unconventional, and look forward to the future because we will be a part of shaping it. ​​

Honesty

We are true to our word and ourselves. Accountability is really important, as is empathy, getting to the facts, and being ready to speak our minds…even when it’s hard to do.

​​

Results

Make no mistake, we want to win. Hard work matters, so does consistent execution. We know that collaboration leverages quality. Being courageous and making sure your opinions are heard is crucial – healthy debate is encouraged.​
