Investment Approch

We are fundamental bottom-up stock pickers who invest for the long term. We believe that the best strategy for investment success is by investing in high-quality, well-managed small-cap companies that are trading below their intrinsic value.

We look for companies with:

  • Outstanding management teams
  • Sustainable competitive advantage
  • Strong operating cash flows
  • High returns on capital
  • Stock trading below intrinsic value
  • Consistent long-term growth prospects

Our biggest advantage is the depth of knowledge we develop on our investments
