NZS Capital poses that the economy and the stock market are best studied as complex adaptive systems akin to biology. They emphasize investing in companies that are adaptable, long-term focused, innovative, possess long-duration growth, and maximize non-zero-sum outcomes. The approach involves fewer, larger positions in companies highly adaptive to disruption, high levels of quality, growth, and context, and smaller positions in companies with a wide range of potential outcomes.
