At a Glance
The Strategy
01
Opportunistic, concentrated, and disciplined on valuation.
The Fund sizes to the opportunity rather than to a benchmark. It looks for a small number of situations where market expectations and a company's intrinsic value have materially diverged.
That is either a high-quality business trading through a temporary dislocation, or a more complex, misunderstood, or event-driven case where careful analysis can resolve the uncertainty that keeps others away.
02
It begins with the downside.
The Fund forms an independent view of intrinsic value, tests what can go wrong, and requires a margin of safety wide enough to absorb being wrong without permanent loss of capital.
At the same time, it recognizes that exceptional businesses compound well beyond what a static valuation implies, and will pay a fair price for durable competitive advantages, strong returns on reinvested capital, and a long runway to grow.
03
Intentional, not incidental.
The book holds 8–10 names at a time. The strongest ideas, where the Fund holds a differentiated view and the risk/reward is clearly asymmetric, are sized to matter rather than diluted across marginal positions.
The research behind them is bottom-up and thorough: company fundamentals triangulated with industry structure, competitors, customers, suppliers, management incentives, and, where useful, alternative data.
04
Typically multi-year, never fixed.
The Fund lets winning theses compound, separating price volatility from genuine risk and disregarding noise while the reasoning holds.
Selling is unsentimental. When the thesis breaks or the risk/reward no longer justifies the position, the Fund exits decisively, regardless of prior conviction or cost basis.
Risk Management
01
Permanent capital loss, not drawdown, is what we guard against. A falling price with an intact thesis is not risk; a broken thesis is.
02
Every position enters with a margin of safety and a written thesis. When the facts invalidate it, or the risk/reward inverts, we exit decisively, regardless of prior conviction or cost basis.
03
Concentration is deliberate and governed by position-level downside, liquidity, correlation, and the quality of the underlying thesis.
04
We invest in liquid securities, so we are never forced to sell at the wrong time.
05
Positions are reassessed continuously against thesis and opportunity cost. Mistakes are catalogued and studied because reducing their cost is among the surest ways to compound.
06
Transparency is part of the process, not a reporting afterthought: every thesis is written down before capital is committed, every position's entry, exit, and outcome is published, and losers are shown alongside winners.
Portfolio Construction
Concentration is only defensible with research to match it. The record behind the strategy is documented position by position.
