Approach
How decisions get made.
Independent research, disciplined valuation and a long view. The principles, process and risk decisions behind how we invest our capital.
Principles
Think independently
We look for insight beyond consensus, built on fundamental research rather than market sentiment.
Invest in structural progress
We look for businesses and technologies positioned to benefit from durable shifts in the global economy.
Underwrite asymmetry
We favor opportunities where the potential reward justifies the capital at risk, rather than pursuing growth at any price.
Let time compound
We have the patience to hold strong investments, and the flexibility to change course when the thesis changes.
Our perspectives evolve. Our principles endure.
Process
From first look to written review.
- 01
Explore
Look across industries, technologies and asset classes. Most of what we see, we pass on.
- 02
Research
Build an independent view from fundamental work, not from market sentiment or consensus.
- 03
Underwrite
Write down the thesis, the price, and the evidence that would prove us wrong. Size each position by the balance of reward and capital at risk.
- 04
Hold
Give strong investments the time to compound. Revisit a thesis when the facts change, not when the price does.
- 05
Review
Every decision gets a written review, whether it worked or not.
Risk
To us, risk means a permanent loss of capital. A price that falls while the thesis holds is the cost of patience. A thesis that breaks is a reason to sell, whatever the price.
What we avoid
- Growth at any price.
- Leverage used to stretch returns.
- Trading on headlines or short-term price moves.
- Investments we can’t explain in a paragraph.
- Outcomes we couldn’t survive, however unlikely.
