About Blue Stamp Company
Blue Stamp Company (BSC) was founded in 2010 as the manager of Blue Stamp Trust (Trust or Fund).

The Trust is focused on long term wealth creation through investing in businesses.

While the Trust focuses on investing in listed shares (just like many other participants), a key difference stems from BSC's acknowledgement that these investments are a part ownership in a business, not merely an object to be traded with each successive ebb and flow in its price. This approach engenders a patient attitude toward our investments.

Having a Benchmark (being an annual return of 10%) that is set independent of the stock market and which stretches far into the distance provides BSC the ability to 'look through' volatility and invest based on the merits of each business.

BSC does not provide any product or service other than managing the Trust and its assets. Accordingly our investment decisions are based purely on the long term merit of each particular concern and how this may impact the investment objective of the Trust.

Further to this, in an environment where one acts on behalf of another, we feel that creating an alignment of interests is an important dynamic to foster. BSC strongly believes that a remuneration framework based on absolute performance is the best way to achieve this alignment of interests between BSC (as the manager of the Trust) and the Unitholders (as the investors in the Trust).

As can be expected from such a symbiotic arrangement, BSC runs the Trust as lean as possible, refraining from charging any frictional fees and keeping the management fee as low as possible. Instead, BSC seeks the bulk of its remuneration through earning a performance fee and to take a significant share of this performance fee in units of the Trust. This creates a structure where BSC's future prospects become evermore tightly bound to those of its investment decisions and importantly, those of the Unitholders. Again, the presence of the Performance Fee incentivises BSC to ensure all operating costs are kept to a minimum, reducing their effect on the Trust's performance for each year.

A natural extension to this alignment is the presence of accountability. While we are happy to accept when things fall our way, more importantly we take full responsibility when we stumble, giving frank comment on how we have erred - expect to therefore receive an honest and candid discussion on the performance of the Trust.

Not insignificantly, you can read our words knowing that our fortunes are moving in line with those of our investors.
