Philosophy

Plato’s philosophy is centred on the belief that the market is a complex, adaptive system and is therefore inefficient.

These market inefficiencies are derived from informational, behavioural and structural sources. Some of these sources of return are exploited on a long-term, strategic time horizon and others are extracted on a short-term, tactical basis.

Plato’s investment process can be best characterised as a “systematic implementation of fundamental ideas”.

Our commitment to research

Research plays a vital role within Plato Investment Management and we are committed to ongoing research into potential process improvements.

Whilst Plato thoroughly researches all its investment processes and has them approved by the Plato Board prior to implementation, our philosophy is that no process should be set in stone.

To assist in our commitment to ongoing research we have established the Plato Academic Board. The Academic Board provides a link into academic research – both published and particularly unpublished – in order to keep Plato at the leading edge of financial market research.
