Valuation discipline
Price is what governs return. We buy durable assets only when the margin of safety is wide enough to survive uncertainty.

Principles
A steady framework.
In every market.
Capital preservation
Preservation comes before opportunity. Avoiding permanent loss compounds more reliably than chasing the next gain.
Patience
Activity reflects opportunity, not obligation. We wait for clarity rather than manufacture it, and hold when nothing needs doing.
“The big money is not in the buying or selling, but in the waiting.”
Charlie Munger
Strategy
Conviction,
with discipline.
A concentrated portfolio of public equities and fixed income. Each decision begins with understanding, and returns to value.

The foundation
Depth before breadth.
We focus on a small number of positions we can understand deeply. Research begins with the asset itself: what gives it durability, and what could put that durability at risk.
The businessIts durabilityThe risks
The valuation
Quality, at a considered price.
A durable asset still needs an attractive valuation. We weigh the price against our assessment of value, allowing room for uncertainty through a margin of safety.

The commitment
Conviction shapes commitment.
Position sizes follow the strength of the evidence. We consider each holding as part of a concentrated portfolio, with capital preservation at the center of the decision.

The perspective
Patience requires attention.
We return to the reasons for owning an asset as circumstances change. A long-term perspective leaves room to wait, to hold, or to act when the evidence calls for it.

Independent research. Considered decisions. A long-term perspective.
