We INVEST our capital and that of our partners by acquiring assets at significant discounts to their intrinsic value and profit as market pricing typically reverts towards intrinsic value over time.
Patience and being unemotional allow us to follow Buffett’s mantra “Be fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful.”
Principal protection is paramount (lost capital cannot be compounded)
We have a conservative approach to underwriting - we avoid fads, unproven trends and the “this time it’s different mentality”
Study of macro and megatrends which help form our view of where growth may be mispriced
Assessing valuations against long-term benchmarks and seeking asymmetric risk-return profiles relative to other investment opportunities
