OUR INVESTMENT PHILOSOPHY

Our focus is to preserve and accumulate capital on an inter-generational basis. We have been investing for over 150 years, and intend to be around for another 160, at least. Our goal is to generate sustainable and reliable dividends that can provide income for families. As such, Gowings is for investors who share a similar investment philosophy and is suitable for other families who wish to invest alongside the Gowing family.

Gowings does not target any specific asset class or time horizon and provides investors with exposure to a wide range of asset classes, which adjust as opportunity and risk are managed. Some of these are not normally available to retail investors. The Company does not limit itself to ASX-listed equities, to any single national boundary or currency, or any particular industry type. It will, at times, invest in unlisted securities, where these provide particular opportunities.

Risk is managed through natural hedges, diversity, and conservative gearing and Gowings does not attempt to reduce risk and preserve capital by investing only in so-called “low-risk” assets but rather seeks to offset risk with a balanced and diverse portfolio of different asset classes.

As an inter-generational investment vehicle, Gowings does not focus on the day-to-day ASX share price, but rather on preserving and increasing the long-term value of underlying assets, which are the ultimate source of income and growth.

At Gowings the board of directors and management are shareholders, giving rise to our commitment of ‘Investing together for a secure future’.
