Oxford’s manager selection process is highly focused on deep analysis and in-person research. This focused due diligence process allows us to develop a view of what we consider the key factors of any potential manager:

• Differentiation: We look for firms that not only have highly experienced professionals with demonstrated expertise in their discipline, but also employ a strategy that differentiates themselves from their competition.
• Repeatability: We focus on firms with a clear and consistent process that’s repeatable, with a strong track record of success.
• Specialization: We seek to partner with managers who are sector or strategy specialists, giving them an edge over generalist competitors.
• Alignment: We seek experienced managers at smaller firms with competitive fee structures in order to have a strong alignment of interests, competitive fees and a liquidity structure consistent with the investment strategy.
