Our FUnd

Compounding Excellence

How We Consistenly Outperform the Market

We invest in a group of high conviction companies, of which the top 10 names generally make up 75% of the overall portfolio. These companies will typically be run by a strong management team that have a significant ownership stake, and are characterized by having a track record of earning high returns on shareholders’ equity. The companies will also be capable of generating high returns on equity for many years to come without the addition of significant amounts of equity capital other than that which is being generated internally.

How we do it

Investment Process

Learn more about the relationship between our Portfolio Managers.

Proprietary database ranking

Once we have identified a company that meets our initial criteria, we make several adjustments to company/analyst earnings forecasts in order to take into account non-cash items. Subsequent to the adjustments being made, we enter the relevant data into our proprietary database where each company’s ROE, valuation and share price momentum are scored in relation to all other stocks in our universe.

Analytics

Those stocks that achieve the highest aggregate scores in our database are then subject to comprehensive quantitative analysis, which includes extensive earnings modeling as well as scenario analysis.

Management Evaluation

Our final step involves face to face meetings with company management, channel checks and discussions with industry analysts. If this process is successful, the position is added to the portfolio, constantly monitored and actively traded.

The Power of Compounders

Fundamentally, we believe in holding compounders for the long term and thus we won’t trade in and out of names. We believe that great management teams think much like portfolio managers– they carefully consider capital allocation and they make a point of knowing the intricacies of their businesses and industries. We expect the management teams of our companies to be able to put capital to work to further increase their profitability as opportunity arises. These opportunities may be based on the uniqueness of their businesses, the dynamics of the industries in which they operate, or the overall condition of the financial markets or economies.

Put another way, we are always on the lookout for management teams that can compound their growth to deliver outstanding returns.
