Philosophy
We believe the best opportunity for investment success is
found by investing in high quality, well managed, small cap
companies and holding them for the long-term.
We buy
companies that :
-
Have the
ability to generate free cash flow
-
Produce
high returns on capital
-
Are selling
below intrinsic value based upon discounted cash flow
"Return on
Capital is the single best measure of a company's strength and
management execution"
