For professional investors only Capital at risk

Investment Approach

We take an alternative view of UK-listed equities, looking for asymmetric opportunities where fundamental work and consensus diverge.

Our philosophy

We have a contrarian mindset.

Exceptional success comes from an atypical approach. The best funds are materially different from the majority.

We created Kernow to focus our conviction, enthusiasm and talent on increasing the repeatability of superior risk-adjusted returns.

We thrive on sifting through the discarded, misunderstood and esoteric opportunities to find skewed risk-reward situations, often finding hidden gems in unfashionable areas.

Clarity through conviction

1. Value the Equity

Understand the company’s fundamentals and the drivers that truly determine value.

2. Acquire at a Discount

Seek hidden quality on the long side and forensic opportunities on the short side.

3. Trade the Catalyst

Match position and timing to the thesis, helping avoid value traps and manage risk.

Invested alongside our clients

We invest our own money alongside client capital. That shared exposure brings a long-term perspective to research, portfolio construction and the development of the firm.
