Farringdon is an active, value-oriented long/short manager which aims to achieve superior investment performance through fundamental research. The firm's Farringdon Alpha One fund is an equity long/short fund with a European focus which invests across a wide range of industries and market caps. They focus on alpha, and as a result expect the fund's performance to show low correlation to other asset classes. Farringdon believes that the market is fairly efficient and that the only way to achieve superior returns is through fundamental analysis. They base investment decisions on proprietary models, focusing on long-term value in companies as opposed to short-term trading opportunities. The firm seeks to identify stocks where the fundamental value deviates from the prevailing market price, aiming to generate performance by identifying incorrectly priced securities. They have a strong focus on valuation techniques, focusing on cash flow and evaluating companies on current and expected returns. Farringdon weighs the future reinvestment opportunities into their investment decisions, believing that capital allocation is one of the most important value drivers for a company. The firm constructs a diversified portfolio of between 15-30 long and 15-30 short positions, believing that 30-60 positions strikes the right balance between concentration driven performance and risk reduction through diversification. Their sector exposure will typically not exceed 10% of the portfolio, either long or short, and the portfolio contains a number of pair trades as well as single long and single short positions. Holding periods for structural long or short positions can be years, whereas the typical holding period for a pair trade will be months.
