Our Story
VI Fund Management’s philosophy centres around investing in Growth Businesses with favourable industry dynamics over the mid to long term.
We have always been fascinated by why and how many of these (typically founder-led) businesses continue to grow and compound in value, especially through tough times. Many evolve and adapt over the years, like in the use of technology during the COVID-19 lockdowns, enabling them to multiply and compound many times over their less savvy counterparts.
Over the decades, we have also witnessed many businesses marred by aggressive accounting practices and even frauds, which resulted in permanent loss of capital to many portfolios. We have refined and incorporated a proprietary probability-based risk assessment process into our stock selection to reduce our exposure to such practices.
By investing in a portfolio of growing and innovative businesses, we believe that these businesses, when purchased at a reasonable price, will yield above-market returns, enabling our investors to achieve growing and sustainable wealth over time.
