About Masou
Masou Investment Management is a newly-established, independent investment boutique based in Sydney, Australia. We specialise in Asia Pacific equities and our primary purpose is to deliver superior long-term investment returns for our clients. We do so by scouring Asia Pacific for the most compelling long term, listed equity, investment opportunities, irrespective of prevailing market sentiment, logistical challenges or language barriers. Our second priority is to take a responsible approach to managing our business, ensuring the consideration of ESG issues is an integral part of our investment process and better aligning our interests with our clients for the long term.
Masou employs a bottom-up, fundamental investment approach. We place particular focus on the mean reversion of profitability, management’s capital allocation and valuation. This often results in contrarian ideas. Investment decisions are typically made with a long term, five-year plus horizon and are distilled into a single, diversified portfolio.
