Camber favours an investment approach that is evidence-based and built on a process that can last for generations
Historically, our investment returns have been in line with market returns, ~10% per year on average for an all-stock portfolio*. Our portfolios are built using Nobel Prize winning research. They are broadly diversified, low-cost, and tilted to emphasize areas of higher expected returns.
If you are looking for hot stock tips, unfortunately we are not that sort of firm. We believe that evidence will always outperform emotions.
At Camber, our disciplined approach to investing can be distilled into the following principles:
Camber’s portfolios invest across 10,000+ individual companies operating in more than 40+ countries, touching all major sectors of the economy. We invest in today’s (and tomorrow’s) greatest companies.
Camber efficiently executes this mandate through our partners at Dimensional — an institutional asset manager with over 40 years of experience, more than 1,400 investment professionals, operating across 13 global offices, and managing more than $800 billion.
Each portfolio we build is unique to our clients’ needs. Here is a portfolio example Dimensional Global Equity Portfolio, DFA607 (as of March 2022):
Why Dimensional?
Camber’s beliefs, values, standards, and philosophies align with no other solution as eloquently as Dimensional.
Dimensional is a long-standing, reputable organization operating globally. Founded in 1981, Dimensional has helped transform the field of finance, with several founders being recognized as Nobel laureates in economic sciences.

Camber is not beholden to Dimensional and receives no compensation to use their products. We select Dimensional as our investment vehicle of choice because our beliefs, values, standards, and investment philosophies align — they are the best solution for our clients’ money (and our own!).
Camber takes a systematic approach to investing, which liberates our portfolios from the most destructive forces: human emotions and behavioural bias.
While the media and financial prognosticators highlight endless reasons to feel pessimistic about markets, the evidence shows there are attractive opportunities for long-term investors.
