Matthew Wolf is a global investment professional known for his disciplined, research-intensive approach to long-term portfolio construction. With a background that spans institutional investing, high-conviction equity analysis, and leadership within major global funds, Matthew develops views rooted in detailed company work rather than market noise. His process is built around clarity, conviction, and a willingness to back ideas that are supported by evidence, not sentiment.
Across the US, Europe, and Asia, Matthew has evaluated and invested in companies operating in fast-evolving sectors including artificial intelligence, energy, global telecommunications, private markets and financial institutions. His focus is consistent: understand competitive advantage, assess cash-flow durability, and build a portfolio that reflects deep belief in a select group of names.
Long-Term Investment Themes
Matthew’s current focus reflects three long-term global trends reshaping capital allocation:
Artificial intelligence, specifically established players whose integration of AI drives scalable efficiency and measurable earnings expansion;
Energy markets, including renewables, LNG operators, Norwegian E&Ps, and high-quality Permian Basin companies;
and Emerging-market financials, where structural growth and valuation mispricing continue to open opportunities.
Recent Performance and Allocation Strategy
Matthew’s portfolio has delivered strong results, returning 28% year-to-date—outpacing both the S&P 500 and the MSCI ACWI. He credits this to disciplined position sizing, willingness to concentrate capital in high-conviction ideas, and constant re-evaluation of changing fundamentals.
Recent allocations include Indonesian blue-chip PT Bank Central Asia and value-driven entries into Chinese leaders such as Tencent and China Merchant Bank—both of which were made at deep discounts before re-rating.
Investment Philosophy
Matthew believes the most effective portfolios are those built on real work, not market chatter. His method emphasises clarity of thought, the importance of valuation, and maintaining conviction only where the underlying research supports it. For him, a successful portfolio is less about breadth and more about the depth of understanding behind each position.
