Investment Management

Our investment philosophy is contrarian. We buy when the crowd is negative and try to sell into bouts of excessive optimism. We believe that you have to act differently to achieve above-average results.

We are value investors. We like highly profitable companies with good growth potential and recognize that the best prices are often realized by buying companies that are experiencing short term fundamental weakness. We focus on long-term, well-diversified investments. We seek to protect and grow wealth for generations.
