Crux Asset Management and the FP Crux European fund!

Oh, you're probably wondering, dear reader(s): Crux Asset Management and the FP Crux European fund!!! What the hell is this all about?!?! 'Ha!' Well, let me tell you. Crux is a new firm that was founded last year, but they've just managed to launch their first fund. And - 'What took them so long, boss? Are they from the Aviva Investors School of Finance?' Hardly, Voice. If they were, there wouldn't even be a fund, would there? Richard Pease and James Milne would be too "busy" in the pub, or the park. Although it's not really ice cream season now. 'Er ... hang on! Richard Pease? James Milne? I mean ... who?!' Jesus! Dickie and Jamie are the two guys who are managing the fund, man. 'Oh.' Great guys, too. And they love large cap European stocks. 'Oh. / How do you know they're great guys, Mikey?' I've got an imagination, Voice. And instinct. 'Oh.' And a generous spirit. [And I can tell from a brief glimpse of the Crux website that it's a very shamanic firm - if you know what I mean. Of course YOU(!) do!!!] Very few of these people are scumbags, you know. A lot of what you read in the papers is just jealousy.

...

Well, well ... / Er ... values, dear reader(s)? 'Tell them!' Yes, I'm glad you asked me, with your cosmic mind(s). Crux does have values.

Integrity: A belief that to deliver excellent client service, we need to build strong relationships with mystic kooks based on honesty, transparency, trust, and confidentiality. This principle also underpins the way we work with our colleagues and partners - including those that have passed over to the other side.

Passion: A genuine enthusiasm for investment management, and for getting a-ROUND with conceptual literature, and for growing our assets and client base as we continue to build an organization that is recognized in our industry.

You see? Superb!

Let's put some music on to celebrate. 'What are you in the mood for, boss?' Jive Talkin' - on repeat? 'Yeah, man! Let's have it!'
