Public Markets

Liquid core portfolio. 10–15 businesses positioned for the megatrends shaping the economy.

We build a concentrated portfolio of public equities - each one a business we can explain in plain language, in a sector with a long-term tailwind. Our own capital is in every position. No index funds. No model-driven diversification. Just businesses positioned to win the next decade.

01 How we select

We buy businesses, not tickers

We start with the business, not the stock. Before we look at valuation or price history, we ask: how does this company actually make money? We evaluate competitive dynamics, unit economics, management quality, and the durability of the moat. We then ask whether the market is pricing these qualities correctly. Often, it is not - especially for businesses in the middle of structural transitions that Wall Street is slow to understand. That's where we find asymmetry.

01

Concentration: Limited positions, each one a business we would be comfortable owning in its entirety.

02

Business-first: We evaluate every company the way an operator would evaluate an acquisition.

03

Structural tailwinds: We invest where massive secular trends meet specific, defensible positions.

04

Conviction holds: We do not trade or time markets. We hold as long as the thesis is intact.
