Legatum Capital Ltd.
Legatum Capital Ltd. Investment ManagersFinance Legatum Capital is a long-term, value-oriented manager which tends to invest in the public equity markets on a long only, unleveraged basis. Their focus is on emerging and frontier markets. The firm manages only proprietary capital, investing on the basis of their convictions. Their long-term approach releases them from the need to hedge against market volatility and investments can therefore be both narrow and deep, remaining manageable and concentrated on their best ideas. Legatum Capital focuses on owning a share of a business, not simply trading stocks. They support positive transitions by providing capital during periods of increased risk, aiming to generate asymmetric returns for investors. They invest in distinct macro themes but are also opportunistic in identifying hidden value. As a consequence, they are sometimes considered contrarian in their investment style. They may occasionally engage in shareholder activism. | Analyst-Equity | 2011-12-31 |
