Kopernik implements their global investment strategies through an active, fundamentals-based, value-oriented process. Their investment discipline seeks to identify potential investments that trade at significant discounts to their intrinsic value. For investment strategies that permit short positions, the firm will short securities of companies that they believe are overvalued by the market, with an emphasis on securities selling at significant premiums to their intrinsic values. Their security selection process is driven by bottom-up fundamental research and is distinguished by industry specialization and fundamental analysis.
