Investment Philosophy:
We believe that investing in a diversified set of assets is the best way to generate superior long-term returns. Our asset allocation primarily falls within these four asset classes:
The core tenets of our philosophy are:
Value Then Growth
We combine the discipline of a value investor with the imagination of a growth investor. This approach controls risk, while capturing the significant growth potential of undiscovered small companies.
The Importance of Risk Control
Our approach demands a margin of safety before we invest. We believe that preservation of capital is the essential component of durable long-term investment success.
Research Matters
We seek to build an information edge by performing thorough, fundamental research.
Our Start-Up Investment Philosophy:
We look for businesses with the following characteristics:
- A business we can understand, and that has a sustainable model and an existing cash flow.
- A business with committed and passionate founder(s).
- A business with significant barriers to entry, recurring cash flows, and high returns on invested capital.
- A predictable business in which the past is a reasonable guide to the future. We ask: is technology disrupting, helping, or hindering?
- A business that serves a purpose and creates a win-win for all stakeholders, including customers, employees, and shareholders.
