GuruFocus interview: The Long-Term Vision of Horos Asset Management

Thumbnail

Horos Asset management was founded in May 2018. It currently manages 50 million euros. It tries to invest in companies that ideally comply with five investing principles: businesses that it can understand, with competitive advantages and strong financial profile, managed by good capital allocators and with an attractive margin of safety.

Javier Ruiz, Alejandro Martín and Miguel Rodríguez are the managers of Horos Value International fund. They have worked together for the last seven years and in that period they have produced an outperforming record (12.4% per year vs 11.8% for the benchmark).

Javier Ruiz was very kind to share their long-term vision, in a worldwide investment universe but with a focus in downside protection.

2024 Letters to co-investors

Letter to our co-investors 3Q24

In this letter, we aim to unravel the underlying causes of recent events in Asian markets. Additionally, we will analyze why, in a financial environment so prone to abrupt changes, it becomes even more crucial to maintain patience and adhere to a robust, common-sense investment strategy like the one we implement at Horos.

The reality is that the euphoric dynamics in the technology sector persist, to a greater or lesser extent, pushing the U.S. stock market to new highs and helping this market to continue outperforming most other regions. This letter will focus on the potential unsustainability of this and the importance of investing with a high margin of safety.
