Great companies come in all sizes, from nimble small-caps disrupting industries to mega-cap titans controlling global infrastructure. What separates exceptional investments from the rest is a combination of business quality and price opportunity that creates long-term wealth for patient investors.
Our research focuses on two fundamental questions that determine investment success. First, does this company have the competitive advantages and reinvestment opportunities to compound capital over decades? The best businesses generate excess cash that management can productively deploy into expanding markets, improving operations, or acquiring competitors, creating a virtuous cycle of growth that persists across economic cycles.
Second, does the current price provide meaningful downside protection? Even exceptional companies become poor investments when purchased at inflated valuations. We seek businesses trading at discounts to their intrinsic value, providing a margin of safety that protects capital while we wait for the market to recognize their true worth.
This dual focus on business strength and price discipline helps identify companies positioned to deliver superior returns regardless of their size, sector, or current market sentiment.
