Investing with Perspective

We identify opportunity, often amidst change, by combining diverse viewpoints with thoughtful research in support of clients’ goals.

Capitalize on opportunities often arising from change at the macro, industry, and company levels by taking the long-term perspective of an outright buyer of businesses

Leverage a distinctive combination of deep industry expertise, global cross-border perspective, extensive networks, and disciplined bottom-up analysis to capitalize on behavioral and analytical inefficiencies in public equity markets

Develop powerful, enduring partnerships with clients by delivering strong risk-adjusted returns, candid communication, and thoughtful insights

Key Principles

  • A company’s intrinsic value is a function of its quality
  • A company’s stock price often disconnects from its intrinsic value due to behavioral and analytical inefficiencies
  • Risk is not a statistic, and it must be considered holistically
  • We acquire stakes in businesses at meaningful discounts to our appraisal of their intrinsic value

We believe that material ESG factors can affect the long-term profitability and/or risk profile of a company and therefore are critical considerations as we holistically assess company fundamentals.
