Position sizing is not a formula. It is how much of the portfolio you are willing to have exposed to being wrong about this idea, given everything else you already own.
Entering H2 2026 with one conviction unchanged. Rigorous process. Honest risk assessment. Patient capital. Not market-dependent. The constants around which everything else is navigated.
Managing money is a responsibility before it is an opportunity. The capital entrusted to us represents years of work and deferred consumption. That context shapes every decision we make at Aramis Capital.
New: Africa's investment landscape โ why the next decade will be different. The structural conditions for institutional investment are improving. What that means for investors already positioned. https://t.co/lCGzXyzV2o
The managers who will define African markets next decade are operating in them today. Relationships, regulatory knowledge, and access aren't acquired when conditions become comfortable. That window won't stay open.
Durable returns come from the most mispriced markets and not the fastest growing. Growth attracts capital. Capital corrects mispricing. The window closes when it becomes consensus. Africa's window is open.
The exit decision is harder than entry. Entry has a clear trigger. Exit has competing ones often in tension. The investors who manage exits well defined the conditions at entry, before the position started distorting the evaluation.
Position sizing is not an afterthought. A portfolio whose largest positions are large because they performed isn't managed. It's the accumulated consequence of movements that no one actually chose.
New: Why Zimbabwe remains one of Africa's most underappreciated investment markets. Most assessments end with the history. The opportunity is in the gap between that and operating reality. https://t.co/lCGzXyAsRW
The most underrated input in portfolio management is the quality of the original thesis. Without it, every drawdown review is answered under pressure without a reference point. A strong thesis converts ambiguous reviews into answerable questions.
Active portfolio management isn't about more decisions. It's about better ones. The discipline is acting when the process demands it and holding when it doesn't. Activity and value-add are not the same thing.
Volatility is not the same thing as risk. Confusing the two leads to selling quality assets when they're cheap and holding deteriorating ones because the price hasn't moved yet.
New: What active portfolio management actually involves. Most debate is about whether it works. Very little examines what it actually is.

Holding through a drawdown is structural not psychological. Investors who hold aren't necessarily stronger. They're more likely positioned so holding is the rational choice. Building that in advance is the practical work of long-term investing.
Market cycles don't announce themselves. Only visible in retrospect. The edge isn't predicting the turn. It's being structured so the turn doesn't force a decision
An investment mandate is only as useful as the clarity with which it's defined. Most investors wish they'd had the edge-case conversation earlier. What the mandate doesn't cover is where surprises live.
Reporting that makes difficult periods legible is more valuable than making good periods look impressive. Any manager can communicate well when performance is strong. Clarity in adversity is what trust is built on.
New: Market cycles and the discipline of patience. Most investors understand cycles in theory. The gap between knowing and doing is where wealth is lost. https://t.co/lCGzXyAsRW
Fewer, deeper relationships produce better outcomes than broader, shallower ones. The manager who understands the full picture makes systematically better decisions than one operating from a partial view. Depth of understanding is a return driver.
Discipline compounds in ways performance reports don't capture. The positions not taken. The risks declined. The costs avoided. They appear as a portfolio that holds when others don't. That's the invisible return.
