Our Businesses
  • Public Investments
    Our public investments business focuses on exceptional public companies meeting our criteria for business quality, management, and price.

As a result, we prioritize owning great business that are growing and have competitive advantages. We do not attempt to time the market and are instead focused on long-term business results. We stay invested and look to take advantage of market volatility to capitalize on opportunities. We are long-only, unlevered, and manage a highly-concentrated strategy.
