Saman Capital
Investment Strategies

Focused strategies.
Differentiated returns.

A deliberately narrow set of strategies — each grounded in deep research, a defined process, and real conviction. We never offer a product we cannot rigorously defend.

01

Public Equities

Concentrated, conviction-driven portfolios in listed markets.

Our equity strategy focuses on a select portfolio of high-quality businesses — companies with durable competitive advantages, strong management teams, and the capacity to compound capital over long periods. We are patient buyers and patient sellers. Portfolios typically hold 15–25 positions, reflecting our belief that genuine diversification comes from knowledge, not quantity.

We conduct deep proprietary research, including direct engagement with company management, supplier networks, and industry participants. We maintain a strict valuation discipline, buying only when price provides an adequate margin of safety relative to our estimate of intrinsic value.

02

Private Markets

Selective access to private equity and venture opportunities.

Private markets offer structural return premiums unavailable in liquid public markets — but only to investors with the network, analytical capacity, and patience to exploit them. Our private markets capability is highly selective. We participate only in opportunities where our involvement creates genuine value.

We focus on growth-stage and established private businesses in sectors where we have proprietary knowledge. We prioritize founder-led companies with strong unit economics and defensible market positions. We are long-term partners, not short-cycle financial engineers.

Fixed Income & Credit

Tactical credit allocation with a focus on capital preservation.

Our fixed income capability provides clients with access to risk-adjusted yield across sovereign, corporate, and structured credit markets. We do not chase yield at the expense of credit quality. Our credit process emphasizes downside analysis — understanding what can go wrong before considering what can go right.

Allocations are driven by a top-down macroeconomic view combined with bottom-up credit analysis. We are particularly attentive to currency and duration risk, and will hold significant cash when the risk-reward in credit markets is unfavourable.

Real Assets

Inflation-resilient exposure to real estate and infrastructure.

Real assets provide portfolio diversification, inflation protection, and predictable long-term cash flows that complement our financial asset strategies. We focus on high-quality assets in markets we understand deeply, with a preference for properties and infrastructure that generate durable income streams.

Our real estate focus is on well-located commercial and residential assets with strong underlying demand drivers. Infrastructure positions target essential services and regulated utilities with long-dated contracted revenues. We avoid speculative development or highly leveraged structures.

Bespoke Mandates

Tailored portfolios for clients with specific requirements.

For qualified clients with distinctive needs — whether driven by tax circumstances, ethical constraints, existing portfolio concentrations, or specific return objectives — we construct fully bespoke investment mandates. These are built from first principles around your unique situation, not adapted from a standard product.

Bespoke mandates begin with a detailed discovery process to understand your complete financial picture, objectives, constraints, and values. We then design a portfolio architecture and investment process that addresses your specific requirements, with agreed reporting and governance frameworks.
