Investment Approach

How We Invest

Our strategy is benchmark-agnostic with an absolute return focus. We invest across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific in businesses we would be comfortable owning in their entirety for a decade.


Quality Monopolies

We seek monopoly or oligopoly-style businesses with pricing power and durable economics. These often include online classifieds, infrastructure, enterprise software, and testing platforms.

Value–Growth–Preservation

We blend the frameworks of Graham and Buffett (value), Fisher (growth), and Marks (risk management) to guide every investment. High-quality companies at fair prices, compounding over the long term.

Absolute Return Mindset

We are indifferent to benchmarks. Our goal is to compound capital at double-digit returns through cycles, with a focus on capital preservation during drawdowns. Cash has no limits when opportunity is scarce.

Selection Criteria

What We Look For

We target businesses that exhibit most or all of the following characteristics.


Predictable revenues and earnings
High reinvestment at attractive returns
