Overview
Investment Philosophy
Portfolio investments are made across three distinct categories: Special Situation, Opportunistic, and Classic. Each category has unique performance attributes and characteristics. Taken together, the three categories enhance return potential and mitigate risk.
- Special Situations: Companies that require tailored, specific valuation methodologies and investment research.
- Opportunistic: Companies that have become inexpensive for a tangible reason that we believe is temporary, not permanent.
- Classic: Companies with proven management teams and consistent long-term performance.
Focus on Free Cash Flow
Our analysis considers the potential uses of free cash flow in developing the business and/or optimizing the capital structure. The combination and potential of these choices impacts shareholder value and is an essential part of our investment process.
- Business Model: On the business side, a company can reinvest in an existing business, enter a new line of business or do a selective acquisition.
- Capital Structure: In terms of capital structure, a company can accumulate cash, pay down debt, buy back stock or issue dividends.
