The pursuit of perfection is a common theme in many aspects of life, from sports to finance to personal growth. Dr. Bob Rotella’s insightful book “Golf is Not A Game of Perfect” offers a profound analogy that resonates beyond the greens of the golf course.
At Eu Capital, we recognise that the essence of victory lies not in the multitude of voices clamouring for attention, but in the quality and integrity of the information we base our decisions upon.
As we navigate through the first quarter of 2024, we’ve witnessed a market characterised by volatility. Valence Global Fund has demonstrated resilience despite the challenges, closing the quarter on a positive 10.2%.
Valence Global Fund is a diversified portfolio of global equities that aims to deliver outstanding returns to its investors. In 2023, the fund achieved an absolute +30.2% return, outperforming the MSCI World Index.
Q3 2023 was marked by challenges in financial markets, with a notable sell-off in bonds. Concurrently, the US government averted a shutdown, and oil surged with the Israeli-Hamas conflict.
At Eu Capital, we are more than just investors. We are owner-partners who share a common vision and passion for the businesses we invest in.
As if 2022 was not tumultuous enough, the first quarter of 2023 was marked by dramatic events, culminating in the spectacular demise of Credit Suisse.

Asset managers are advisors who have the aptitude, resources and experience to make investment decisions that suit the personal financial goals of their clients. Finding the right asset manager is like a king searching for his general. It makes all the difference.
It is common practice, but Modern Portfolio Theory has not worked out well for most investors. Why? For starters, it assumes that markets are efficient. But markets are often irrational and mis-priced.
