We are growth investors. Of the 20,000 listed corporations in the world, many profess to be growing, but only a small portion actually grow independently of the broader economic cycle. This is where the Munro investment process focuses. Our research process has been designed and honed over 14 years to successfully sift through the world’s listed corporations to find sustainable growth trends that are underappreciated and mispriced by the market, and the resulting winning and losing stocks.
