investment strategies
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure
Without giving up too many trade secrets, here is some information that we use to identify and analyze investments.
We generally purchase individual securities, but may from time to time take advantage of Exchange-Traded-Funds (ie ETF’s). Currently we do not use mutual funds as we believe a concentrated portfolio of securities we have analyzed provides more potential return for our client. Whereas, we believe most publicly-traded mutual funds are too large and have too many internal costs to provide above market returns to their owners. We may participate in Private Offerings if the thesis and analysis is compelling. If we participate in a Private Offering we will secure your permission prior to deploying any capital.
We Focus on Fundamental Research:
Risk as defined in our GROUND RULES: we view “risk” as a shortcoming in our research. While we cannot know the volatility in a security’s price, we can determine what we know about a company through our research. We learn as much as possible about our portfolio companies to ensure a “margin of safety'”. Below are some of the analytical criteria to provide our investors an idea of how we analyze securities.
Capital Structure:
We also utilize quantitative methods significantly including proprietary strategies that AUGMENT our selection process. To keep cost low we have negotiated to receive these services as ‘soft dollars’ from our broker.
