Investment philosophy
These words define how we do and understand value investing.
We know the long-term benefits of value investing. For this reason, we dedicate all our efforts to follow this philosophy in a disciplined way and to transmit it to our co-investors, so that they understand how they can take their savings to greater returns.
These words define how we do and understand value investing.
We spend most of our time analyzing and studying companies. We carefully examine the business and its financial statements, competitors, suppliers, etc. identifying the potential opportunities or risks that may arise when investing in them.
We select the best companies to incorporate into our investment portfolio, those that trade at attractive prices and give us security and confidence.
Our passion lies in value investing and we firmly believe in it. This is demonstrated by the fact that each member of the investment team invests a large portion of his personal assets in our funds, thus aligning our passion with the co-investors interest, who invest their savings with us.
Behind every decision are many hours of work, attention to detail and utmost dedication. Like a craftsman, we constantly strive for excellence at every step.
Following this methodology focused on value investing, our management team has achieved excellent results through different investment products, positioning our funds among the most profitable in the long term.
How and why does Value Investing work?
We understand that the stock market is not perfect. In the short term, investors tend to be driven by their emotions and make buy and sell decisions based on less than objective and logical motives. This generates continuous fluctuations in the market. It is precisely in this environment that value investors have the ability to identify companies with a higher value than the price at which they are trading in the market, which offers excellent investment opportunities.
However, these fluctuations in the market eventually even out, allowing the market to re-price listed companies correctly. Therefore, those companies whose shares traded at a lower price in the past tend to reach their true value over time. It is in this scenario that we 'value' investors make profits, by buying at low prices and selling once the shares approach their true value.
Warren Buffett
Warren Buffett is considered one of the best investors in history. He is known for his focus on value investing, seeking companies whose market price is below their intrinsic value, while prioritizing the quality of companies over their price. One of his most notable quotes is: "It's far better to buy a wonderful company at a fair price than a fair company at a wonderful price". This quote reflects his philosophy of investing in solid companies with long-term potential.
Charlie Munger
Warren Buffett's historical partner. Munger defended his strategy focused on value investing arguing that this investment philosophy is the only one with common sense. One of his most famous quotes was: “All intelligent investing is value investing, acquiring more than you are paying for".

Invest
How do we do it?
We understand the business
We invest in companies whose business models we understand and where we can project a long-term future.
We reduce risk
We avoid companies with high debt.
We look for unique companies
We focus on those companies that have distinctive advantages over their competitors.
We analyze the management team
We closely examine the performance of the management of the companies in which we invest.
We maintain an adequate margin of safety
We buy shares when we identify that their value is clearly higher than their market price on the stock exchange.
With this analysis process, most companies we examine are ruled out, which is why our investment portfolio only features stocks we are 100% convinced about.
What does this mean?
We analyze companies with the objective of identifying opportunities and risks, prioritizing those with long-term potential and an attractive valuation.
We discard those with high debt, poor management or regulatory risks. This approach allows us to build a solid and safe investment portfolio.
Thanks to our strict selection process, we have a portfolio of companies that we know in depth and of which we are 100% convinced.
Despite this, our managers continue to regularly review their investment theses to detect and correct possible errors. Should such errors occur, they are recognized immediately and steps are taken to adjust the position.
