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. Every investment is evaluated through the 5AM Scorecard.


Quality Monopolies

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

Value–Growth–Preservation

We blend the frameworks of Graham and Buffett (value), Fisher (growth), and Marks (risk management). 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.
