Gradient Contrarian Choice

The Gradient Contrarian Choice Portfolio is an actively managed strategy designed to deliver long-term capital appreciation. It employs a contrarian strategy, seeking to invest in companies whose prices are temporarily dislocated due to macro or external factors that are out of their control. The goal is outsized returns in the form of price appreciation when these price dislocations revert, or normalize. Investing in contrarian securities can be an ideal investment vehicle to create long-term wealth for investors who have high return expectations and can tolerate a higher level of volatility.

Contrarian investors have historically made their best investments during times of market turmoil. In most markets there tend to be out-of-favor securities or sectors that investors are avoiding at any given time. Often times this creates price dislocations that can produce attractive long term returns when they recover. The Gradient Contrarian Choice Portfolio will deploy an active approach to exploit these opportunities through diligent research in determining if a company’s stock price dislocation is temporary or structural in nature and investing accordingly.
