Understand the business
Identify durable advantages
Require a margin of safety
Invest with focus
We study a company’s financial performance, business model, management and competitive position to understand how it creates value and the risks it faces.
We seek businesses with economic moats: competitive advantages that can support their position and earning power over time.
A strong business is not necessarily an attractive investment at any price. We compare market prices with our assessment of intrinsic value and seek a margin of safety.
We build a concentrated portfolio around our strongest investment convictions. Avoiding permanent loss of capital remains central to our decisions.
