Avanda’s vision is to be an independent world-class fund manager that helps clients meet their long-term investment needs by bringing to bear our extensive investment expertise across multiple asset classes and geographic regions.

In line with our long-term orientation, we believe in the value of patient capital and do not allow our decision-making to be steered by short-term market volatility. Rather, we stay abreast of global political and economic developments, constantly analysing the macro environment to identify trends that may impact countries, industries and companies in the longer term. Environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues are an integral part of this analysis, as they have the potential to substantially impact progress on a sustainable, long-term basis, at the country, sector and company level.
