Blue Planet investment management

 INTRODUCTION

Blue Planet Investment Management Ltd is a Malta based investment management company which specialises in managing investments in financial companies. Its corporate philosophy is that consistent out-performance is more likely to be achieved by specialisation than it is from the generalist approach, which currently prevails across most of the fund management industry.

Stock markets comprise of many sectors and at any point in time a number of these sectors will be in economic decline and will produce below average returns to investors. The financial sector is not immune to these cycles. However, financial companies, and in particular banks, play a crucial and central role in free market economies. Money transmission is perhaps the single most important function performed in any free market economy and it is the banks’ dominance of this function that gives them tremendous economic muscle. This role will ensure that banks endure whilst other sectors come and go. Blue Planet believes that investors should only invest in those sectors that have superior long-term economic prospects and, crucially, which are undervalued.  It believes that the World’s financial sector is one such sector.

By focusing on only one sector Blue Planet believes that it is able to develop a level of expertise and understanding of that sector that generalist fund managers cannot. Blue Planet believes that in future pension funds and others will increasingly use specialist advisors to advise them specifically and solely on the allocation of their assets across sectors and will then place the designated funds with specialist investment managers in those sectors. This segregation of roles and increased specialisation will, it believes, reduce conflicts of interest and lead to better investment performance.
