PRESERVE CAPITAL

OWN HIGH-QUALITY BUSINESSES

Our portfolio is comprised of high-quality businesses with attractive returns on capital. High-quality businesses possess unique attributes that enable them to be more durable through economic cycles, maintain competitive advantages for long periods of time, and grow intrinsic value faster over the long-term.

INVEST WITH A LONG-TERM PERSPECTIVE

We make investment decisions based on long-term business fundamentals and acquire positions we intend to hold for three to five years or longer.

By focusing on long-term business opportunities, not simply months or quarters, we are able to capture the long-term value creation opportunity of the high-quality businesses we own. It also allows for greater tax efficiency of our investments.

APPLY A DISCIPLINED PROCESS TO BUY, MONITOR, AND SELL INVESTMENTS

Our disciplined process insures that we know the businesses we own well, are finding compelling investment opportunities, and work to limit our mistakes.

Our process starts by identifying high-quality businesses. We then apply in-depth research with rigorous valuation analysis to determine the value of these businesses. Next, we utilize patience and wait to buy high-quality businesses when they are attractively priced related to our appraisal of value. Finally, we monitor our investments on an ongoing basis and look to allocate capital within our portfolio to the most compelling opportunities.

Concentrate Capital IN OUR BEST IDEAS

Managing a concentrated portfolio enables us to achieve our dual goals of superior investment returns with reduced risk over the long-term. Great investment opportunities are rare, and a concentrated portfolio enables us to invest more of our capital in our best ideas, while also forcing us to have greater conviction and knowledge of our investments.
