Our investment strategy

We own a concentrated portfolio of high quality,
wealth-creating businesses run by prudent and capable management.

We participate in the growth in value of exceptional businesses

We view ourselves as business owners

We believe the businesses we own will become progressively more valuable over time, and as owners we are participants in this wealth-creation process.

We minimise the risk of disappointment

We own proven, leading businesses that we believe have a narrow range of outcomes and where the risk of material disappointment is low.

Our portfolio is highly concentrated

Owning a maximum of 15 companies allows our quality criteria to be exacting and permits us to be discerning on the price we pay.
