Investing is simple, but not easy.

The key is to have patience and discipline.

Money is among the most personal of possessions. Entrusting an investment manager with one's financial assets, in exchange for a fee, carries an inherent expectation that the manager will uphold the highest standards of integrity in handling client affairs. Investors seek out Investment Counsellors precisely because they value trustworthiness and reliability.

Hybridge Investment Management follows a disciplined investment strategy rooted in principles that have proven their resilience over time.

It’s about time in the market not market timing.

Here’s how we do it –

Stay invested and avoid market timing

Remain invested and steer clear of market timing.

Short-term fluctuations are notoriously unpredictable, so we focus on long-term strategy instead.

Historically, stocks have risen about 70% of the time over the past century. This means that stepping out of the market increases the likelihood of missing opportunities, being wrong seven times out of ten. Staying invested positions you to be right 70% of the time, ensuring you capture the full potential of long-term growth.

Buy conservative and high quality investments

Invest in stable, high-quality assets and avoid speculation.

Preserving capital takes precedence over chasing quick profits.

The most effective strategy for long-term wealth preservation and growth is to focus on well-managed, financially sound, large, and established corporations with a proven track record of earnings growth. These industry leaders, guided by strong leadership, are not dull investments but rather reliable wealth generators valued by prudent investors.

Buy growth at a reasonable price

Invest in growth at a fair price.

Even top-tier companies can be overpriced, so focus on value relative to earnings.

Selecting strong, well-established businesses with stock prices slightly below the average price-to-earnings ratio of their industry or the broader market provides a layer of downside protection. While highly priced equities can generate substantial returns if performance remains strong, they also carry significant risk if earnings fall short of expectations.

 Invest tax efficiently

Optimize your investments with tax efficiency.

What you retain matters just as much as what you earn. Avoid short-term trading that benefits the taxman more than it benefits you.

In taxable accounts, minimizing unnecessary trades helps defer capital gains, allowing your returns to compound over time. Focus on acquiring high-quality companies and only sell when there is a compelling reason. Otherwise, let your capital gains continue to grow.

 Diversify your investments

Spread your investments wisely.

Putting everything on one bet could leave you with no way to recover if things go south.

Since no one can predict the future with certainty, even the most promising investments can take unexpected turns. Diversification strengthens portfolio stability and enhances the predictability of returns. You can achieve this by distributing equity investments across various industries or global markets, or by diversifying across different asset classes, such as stocks, bonds, and cash deposits.

 Maintain investment discipline

Maintain investment discipline.

A committed approach reduces the risk of making investment mistakes, especially where an out-of-favor investment style is abandoned by emotional capitulation.

One great advantage of employing a money manager - and delegating investment decisions to that firm - is the removal of emotional decisions from one’s personal money by substituting a more objective approach.

Professional Discretionary Management

Clients entrust day-to-day investment decisions to seasoned professionals with top-tier credentials. Our portfolio managers meet the highest industry licensing standards, enabling them to make informed trades with confidence. While we handle the complexities of investing, clients stay fully informed and free to focus on their personal pursuits.
