Philosophy
- We believe that high quality businesses managed by world class leadership teams should inherently out-perform the broad-based market. Using bottom-up stock-picking, our philosophy is to build a portfolio of sector-diversified growth stocks at reasonable prices (GARP) and periodically rebalance them using a proprietary relative strength model. This methodology consistently achieves the rare adage: “buy low, sell high".Secondly, to further maximize the potential of assets under our control, we tactically sell options contracts on high quality stocks.Finally, and most importantly, the Oasis Growth Fund Fee Model is designed to offer compelling value. Our fees (both management and incentive) are highly competitive to ensure that clients receive the majority of the rewards generated. Since we invest alongside our investors, we are deeply motivated to achieve investing success for all.

Strategy & Investment Approach
Desiring to create a worthwhile alternative for investors has lead to the design and launch of the performance-accountable “Oasis Growth Fund”. To generate annual returns in excess of the long-term expected return of the S&P 500 Index (8%). Growth is achieved by investing in an equal-weighted portfolio of diversified, high quality, North American medium- and large-cap stocks with periodic rebalancing.
In addition, supplementary income is generated by selling options contracts (Cash-secured Puts and Covered Calls) on high quality North American stocks.
For portfolio protection, we occasionally use stock options or futures. The Oasis Growth Fund investment model and fee structure have been purposefully designed to offer one of the most client-centric fund models in the industry.
In all facets, the Oasis Growth Fund is a true blend of best industry practices.
