Conclusions
 You can swim against the tide (i.e. make money in flat
markets) … provided you have the requisite skills.
 The requisite skills come from a good investment
philosophy, and pig-headed determination of practising it.
 A good investment philosophy evolves after years of
research, practice, and fine-tuning.
 We believe our investment philosophy – QGLP and its
continuous improvement – should help us deliver
sustained superior performance.
