WHY TRUFFLE?A truffle is the valuable and highly sought-after, edible fruiting body of a group of subterranean fungi of the genus Tuber. All truffles are ectomycorrhizal and are therefore found in close association with trees. (Not to be confused with a chocolate truffle.) Looking for truffles in open ground is almost always carried out with specially trained pigs (truffle hogs) or, more recently, dogs. Truffles are notoriously difficult to find and are thus comparable investment opportunities we seek daily in the financial markets- not easy to find but highly profitable and only achievable through the application of scarce skills and experience. Our logo is the approximation symbol and best reflects our investment strategy of value investing (long-only) and quasi (or almost) arbitrage strategies (hedge funds) thus minimising risk and maximising returns |
