What makes Zadig Asset Management different from a style perspective

18th April, 2024 | Equities

Vincent Steenman, Portfolio Manager at Zadig Asset Management, outlines Zadig Asset Management’s distinctive investment style and strategy. Unlike traditional value or growth investors, Vincent emphasizes a style-agnostic, balanced approach focused on performance and adaptability. He explains how Zadig AM’s concentrated, high-conviction portfolio of around 20 stocks is managed with a “Darwinian philosophy”, constantly reassessing positions over a two-year investment horizon. This results in a higher portfolio turnover that allows agility and complements longer-horizon strategies. Zadig AM’s process avoids macroeconomic forecasting, instead relying on active risk management, conviction-driven bets, and cross-style diversification between growth, value, and defensive names. This emphasis on short- to medium-term results makes Zadig AM’s approach a strong complement within diversified portfolios.
