How We Invest

Investment Strategy

A Simple, Repeatable Process

Our strategy is straightforward: identify exceptional businesses, understand them deeply, and buy them only when the price offers a meaningful margin of safety. Then hold them for as long as the thesis remains intact.

We are generalists by design. We do not constrain ourselves to a particular sector, geography, or market cap. Opportunity is wherever we find it — and we are willing to wait.

We continually re-underwrite our investments to ensure the thesis still holds. While waiting for the long-term thesis to play out, we take advantage of nearer term pricing volatility by trading around the core position to dampen volatility, reduce beta, and generate yield.

Our Process

How We Find Ideas

01

Business Quality

We start with the business, not the stock. We look for durable competitive advantages, strong returns on capital, and management teams with integrity and long-term orientation.

02

Intrinsic Value

We estimate the intrinsic value of a business using conservative assumptions. We are not interested in precision — we want to be roughly right, not precisely wrong.

03

Margin of Safety

We only invest when the price offers a meaningful discount to our estimate of intrinsic value. The margin of safety protects us from errors in our analysis.

04

Patient Holding

We hold our investments for years, not months. We let compounding do the work. We sell only when the thesis is broken, the valuation is excessive, or a better opportunity arises.

What We Avoid

Businesses we don't understand

Excessive leverage at the company level

Management teams with poor capital allocation track records

Commoditized businesses with no pricing power

Macro speculation and market timing

Short-term trading and excessive portfolio turnover
