Why choose us?

Cannon portfolios are noticeably different from peer portfolios and the market reflecting our contrarian stance.  This is important as the only way to beat the market, is to look different to the market.  Also, our universe is wide in the South African context, going down to about 250 listed companies at any time.  Cannon invests with high conviction.  The average number of shares in our portfolios is in the mid-20s, and in places falling to as low as 10 (Global Best Ideas Portfolio).
