His investment philosophy rests on two principles. First, evidence-based judgment: decisions are grounded in rigorously verified data and on-the-ground diligence, minimizing distortion in investment judgment and focusing on results that can be reproduced over time. Second, accountable stewardship: every decision before, during, and after investment is tied to a clearly defined owner, and consistency of principles is prioritized over short-term performance.
