Together, the combination of short-term disappointment and long-term value define a statistically mis-priced opportunity that we can exploit to the benefit of our investors.
We constantly search over 2,200 companies for those rare cases where short-term disappointment causes general opinion to turn negative but where, to the contrary, our long-term “quality of the business” analysis finds hidden value. We expect that, over time, the long-term value of the business will triumph over short term distractions, to the benefit of our investors.
We maintain a real-time, proprietary database of over 2,200 companies with over 1,100 input data points per company – plus historical analytic data going back to 1990. This huge resource allows us to execute the methodology of our model.
Long-term, equities-only approach. We go where the opportunities are, one company at a time. To achieve a satisfactory balance of diversification, tax efficiency, and minimal market disturbance, the portfolio is limited to 60-70 stocks.
Our Risk Control Model culls those stocks whose statistical characteristics fall to an unacceptable level and our Valuation Model sets a price target which, when reached, will trigger a sale.
Exceptions are few given our discipline. Prior to actual purchase of a stock, and regularly thereafter, a due diligence review is performed to uncover cases where the financial picture of the business cannot be clearly deduced from company financial reports. This is a warning sign we take very seriously and we will typically move on to the next opportunity.

Model commentary

  1. Uncertainty ahead, but here's reason for optimism

    23 July 2012

    Ultimately I believe that solutions will be found, compromises made, and the animal spirits of capitalism will overcome governmental ineffectiveness.
