credibility that the assets of the Funds are managed responsibly.

Olympic Wealth’s investment objective is to provide capital appreciation over the
medium to long term investment cycles, the bedrock of which is seated in Warren
Buffett’s ‘Focus Investing’ approach.
The principles of Focus Investing date back to the early 1930’s which were codified in
Benjamin Graham’s book ‘Security Analysis’ in 1934. This has stood the test of time
over the past 80+ years and still resonates today with Warren Buffett being the biggest
proponent of this style.
Focus Investing involves investing in equities from the perspective of buying into a
business which is well run, has a distinct marketing edge and has a high probability
of above average performance. Olympic Wealth adheres to the following guiding
principles:
• We aim to purchase assets that have a sustainable competitive advantage, or
‘moat’ around them, holding them long term to compound the benefits.
• We purchase assets for significantly less than their book value.
• We concentrate on holding a small number of high caliber assets rather than over
diversifying, preferring to hold quality over quantity.
• We focus on return on equity (ROE) rather than earnings, which can be fleeting.
We believe that this long term approach of increasing return on equity will
have a more profound effect on an asset’s value compared to earnings.
• A low debt/equity ratio is an important factor in selecting assets, as high debt
used to finance operations can result in volatile earnings.
• Any assets purchased must be currently producing, or will be capable of
producing, regular dividends to the Fund.
• Profit margins should be high and preferably, increasing.
• We will seek out extraordinary investments in unusual markets that we believe will
excel in the coming years.

at a fair pricethan a fair company
at a wonderful price.”

The perception of risk management is fundamentally changing with today’s economic
climate, as it has an important bearing on predicting revenues from transactions.
We view risk in terms of opportunity cost. Volatility provides us the opportunity to invest
at an advantageous cost, and we have the fortitude to ride out any market movements.
This long term approach, irrespective of short-term market fluctuations, enables us to
compound our growth over the long term.
A vital component of fund management is liquidity. Our team is always mindful that
liquidity not only aides our capital in/outflows, but also helps us to take advantage of
market fluctuations where and when they arise.
The management team constantly review daily market conditions and macroeconomic
data, performing a weekly analysis of the Funds’ performance. This enables us to
monitor our investments and focus on growing them above and beyond the ‘Hurdle
rates’. ‘Hurdle rates’ refer to the rate of return that our Fund Manager must surpass
before qualifying for any performance fee.
Capital preservation underpins every decision the team makes, providing you, our
valued clients, with the confidence that we are protecting the value of your assets.

Our goal is to grow our Funds’ profitability, while maintaining a high degree of fiscal
prudence.
In addition to seeking long term, consistent gains, we firmly believe that you, our
valued clients, deserve a more informed connection with your investments and those
managing it.
We believe that you wish to understand the investment process and seek to have a
belief that the Directors of the Fund, the staff and the Financial Advisor dealing with
your investments always have your best interests in mind.
We have a highly client-centric service standard, which is essential to our success and
we continually disseminate intuitive, insightful information to you and your Financial
Advisor. We believe this fosters a real sense of understanding and involvement, coupled
with a two way dialogue and complete transparency.
