What Does Nipun Stand For?
Nipun: in Hindi (निपुण) means skill and agility; in Chinese (立磐), it means to stand on solid rock. To us, this name brings together the two cornerstones of our founding philosophy: principled investing and skillful execution.
On the one hand, our corporate culture and investment approach are anchored on a set of core values and principles that have endured the test of time (立磐). On the other hand, our relentless passion is to apply these principles, with tactical agility and execution skill (निपुण), to every individual Asian and Emerging market that we invest in.
Success in active investing, as in life, depends on having the right principles and values, as well as the passion and skill needed to bring these principles to life in every day decisions. Our cohesion and vitality as a team, as well as our long term success as a firm, will depend on our commitment to both.
Our Competitive Edge
Our team has over 100+ years of combined investment experience and 75% of our core team worked together prior to joining Nipun. Our team has a shared set of values, which will drive long term success.
Since inception of the firm, we have been innovating at an extraordinary pace with new ideas and new data sources. Our efforts are infused with a sense of urgency and excitement to see the ideas in action. The ‘time to market’ of an idea is a special focus at Nipun and our size and agility ensure that this is a competitive advantage for us. We believe the exceptionally high metabolic rate of our research engine is a sustainable source of competitive advantage for us.
We are stewards of our investors’ assets and want to align our incentives accordingly. We own our firm and share in the risks and outcomes of our clients. A significant part of the Partners’ net worth is invested across the Funds.
Emerging markets (EM) are complex and ever changing. Each country in EM and Asia offers opportunities and has its own nuances and subtleties. The composition and behavior of market participants can vary significantly across markets. We are uniquely focused on understanding these differences and ‘contextualizing’ the primary drivers of stock returns to each country. We have chosen our ‘sandbox’ and are intently focused on it.
