…rewarding Scientific Investors who embodied Originality, Character and Patience
Without getting into the specifics of how well OmniScience strategies did in 2021, it can be surmised that OmniScience’s Scientific Investors got “satisfactory returns” as Benjamin Graham would have put it. Definitely, we as fund managers were quite “satisfied”.
What one will miss from the above performance is that equity markets do not deliver performance consistently but rather in bursts. There are years of negative performance too. For example, 2018 was a negative performance year. But those who had the patience - a majority of OmniScience Scientific Investors - were rewarded in 2019, 2020 and 2021.
OmniScience’s Scientific Investors—were rewarded in 2021. The requirement that the Scientific Investor should have Originality, Character and Patience is again reinforced. The OmniScience investment managers must focus on the Originality aspect and the Character aspect, while the Client has to focus on the Character and Patience aspect. This partnership between the managers and the clients leads to the performance and alpha generation as a result of Scientific Investing.
