Investment Philosophy

  • We believe that the market episodically fails to recognize, in our view, a company’s “intrinsic value;” we selectively invest when price presents what we believe to be an appropriate “margin of safety.”
  • We seek persistent businesses that embody asset scarcity, strong capital structures and corporate resilience.
  • Our fundamental, bottom-up approach requires a temperament focused on: patience, humility and flexibility.

Our Process

The investment team follows a bottom-up, fundamental approach, focusing on companies with businesses which it believes both exhibit sustainable profitability and are trading at significant discounts to their “Intrinsic Values.”
 
Selective Participation
  • 01

    Scarcity

    We look for companies that exhibit scarcity through intangible and tangible assets associated with their businesses that may result in strong demand advantages and/or lasting supply advantages.

    We believe that scarcity of assets is the foundation of durability.

  • 02

    Durability

    Businesses with durability generally have long duration, scarce assets, strong capital structures and management with prudent mindsets. 

    Scarce and durable assets overlaid with a strong capital structure and strong management teams may result in what we view as attractive companies that potentially produce persistent earnings.

  • 03

    Persistence

    Once we have identified a company with demonstrated persistence, we look for the intersection of attractive price and timing to selectively participate.

  • 04

    Margin of Safety

    Buy and sell decisions are based on our estimates of a company’s “intrinsic value” and “margin of safety”—the difference between its market value and our estimate.


We seek to avoid companies with high valuations, high levels of leverage, “black box” balance sheets, vulnerable business models, and/or aggressive management behavior.
