OUR FUNDS
ABOUT US
Salt is an active fund manager. Our investment philosophy centres on the belief that share markets have characteristics that lead to market inefficiencies that can be exploited over time to deliver superior risk-adjusted returns.
We are a core investor with no intended style bias to either “growth” or “value” and look to invest in companies with strong management, which operate within sound industry structures and generate superior shareholder returns.
Our investment process demands both robust balance sheets and the current ability or potential to generate above average free cash-flow.
OWNERSHIP
The firm is wholly owned by its investment personnel, who continue to extend their long-term track record in delivering strong outcomes for investors. All senior team members have more than 20 years of investment experience in both domestic and global markets gained over different market cycles.
ENVIRONMENTAL
SOCIAL
GOVERNANCE
ESG is a crucial element of the Salt Funds Management investment decision-making process.
Salt is a strong believer in the merits of embedding comprehensive ESG analysis into its investment process. This incorporates both the careful analysis of the sustainability of a company’s business model and strategy as well as actively engaging with company directors, executives and other stakeholders.
RESEARCH
Proprietary research is at the heart of the firm. Salt has a team of dedicated analysts who are tasked with producing bespoke research on companies within our investment universe. This research is aimed at providing the portfolio managers with well-reasoned views on the value of companies based on our own in-house financial modelling. This provides the firm with a robust decision making framework that efficiently balances quantitative and qualitative analysis.
SALT's weekly
WorldView
Recent data appears to rule out a June interest rate cut in the US, and with September complicated by its proximity to the election, any hopes for a cut in 2024 appear to increasingly rest on the December FOMC meeting.
