Investment Management

Our Investment Philosophy

WE THINK ABOUT INVESTING AS THE PURCHASING OF COMPANIES RATHER THAN TRADING OF STOCKS

“Price is what you pay; value is what you get” – Benjamin Graham

What matters in the long run is a company’s business performance and not the investing public opinion in the short run.  This means that you shouldn't worry about the markets ups and downs.

WE FOCUS ON INDIVIDUAL COMPANIES

By focusing on companies we do not attempt to guess the direction of the Economy. The essence of “Value Investing” is to know the company’s intrinsic worth because we believe the market will sooner or later recognize this. Markets are risky, but wise investors understand that good businesses at favorable prices are risks worth taking.

WE ARE PATIENT, LONG-TERM INVESTORS

“Far more money has been lost by investors trying to anticipate corrections, than lost in corrections themselves” – Peter Lynch, Author, Legendary Investor

The market’s reaction to short term events can produce large swings in a stock price that are unrelated to the long-term prospects of the company.  We look for such swings when they produce what we believe to be an attractive entry for a good business. Our approach strives to take out the guesswork of short-term price movements and focuses on what we believe is most important – building and compounding long-term wealth.

WE FIND OPPORTUNITY TO BUY A STAKE IN QUALITY BUSINESSES

When we believe that businesses fall below their value, we look for opportunities to buy them at a discounted price.  Our investment decisions are based on extensive research geared toward finding the fundamental value of a business.
