Our Investment Philosphy

  • We believe ninety percent of the capital markets are efficient and to truly capture value, generate alpha, and outperform our peers we must search for opportunities within the ten percent of inefficiency.
  • We analyze financial markets with discipline and focus to take advantage of market inefficiencies that can be represented in the mispricing of financial assets while employing a range of strategies in an effort to deliver market-leading investment returns to our capital partners.
  • We seek to own the equity interest of dominant companies with simple, predictable, free cash flow generative business models, high return on capital, strong balance sheets, and limited exposure to extrinsic risk.
  • We believe herd mentality and other market psychology factors are important to consider when managing capital. We often take a contrarian approach to traditional market sentiment as asset prices are typically mispriced during times of extreme fear or greed.
