Our Equity Investment Philosophy

We invest in companies that our rigorous, bottom-up research indicates have sustainable competitive advantages, superior financial strength, proven management teams, and powerful products or services.

In our view, consistent earnings growth is the primary driver of intrinsic value and long-term stock appreciation. Accordingly, our efforts focus on identifying and then building concentrated portfolios of companies we believe can deliver sustainable, above-average earnings growth over the long term.
