Why did you call the firm "Minotaur"?
The name "Minotaur" reflects our unique approach to investing and our vision for the future of asset management.
 
1997 marked a pivotal moment in computing history when IBM's Deep Blue defeated chess grandmaster Garry Kasparov. The following year saw the first advanced chess tournament, also known as centaur chess, which combined human intuition with machine processing power. The term "centaur" in this context refers to the mythological creature with the head of a human and the body of a horse, symbolising the fusion of human and machine capabilities.
 
Our name, Minotaur, inverts this concept. In Greek mythology, the Minotaur has the head of a bull and the body of a human. This inversion is aspirational for us – we aim to harness the power of artificial intelligence (the "beast's head") while maintaining the nuanced understanding and decision-making capabilities of experienced human investors (the "human body"). As AI becomes more powerful, we envision technology playing an increasingly significant role in our investment process, always guided by human expertise.
 
The choice of Minotaur also reflects our founders' shared interest in Greek mythology and incorporates elements of their names. Armina's name echoes in the 'Min' of Minotaur, while Thomas's initials 'TR' resonate with the 'taur' ending.
 
What makes Minotaur unique?
At Minotaur, we leverage cutting-edge AI and software to supercharge traditional investment processes. By making our approach software-first, we can generate better and more efficient investment outcomes. We use AI at every step – from idea generation to portfolio construction – to gain a competitive edge.
 
Our fund managers' unique combination of skills sets us apart. Thomas, one of the few fund managers in Australia with the ability to code and develop software, has built our proprietary AI-powered system. Armina brings valuable insights from her experience working closely with successful technology company founders.
 
Despite our collective 35 years of experience in the finance industry, we remain open to diverse perspectives and are willing to explore a broader investment universe than typical developed market fund managers. Our strong networks in the start-up and technology space provide us with unparalleled access to innovative investment opportunities.
 
At Minotaur, we combine the power of AI with our unique expertise to deliver exceptional results for our investors.
What is the firm's investment philosophy?
At the core of the Minotaur Method is a belief in the importance of understanding the fundamental drivers of a business and the long-term prospects for value creation. We are unwavering in our focus on the long-term, as we believe that over time, stock prices ultimately converge with the intrinsic value created by the underlying company.
 
The foundation of our investment thesis is always a deep understanding of a company's long-term prospects, competitive advantages, and growth potential. We seek to identify companies with durable competitive advantages, strong leadership, and clear paths to value creation. Rigorous analysis of these factors is the bedrock of our process.
