book and new ideas.
When used intelligently, leverage can produce outsized returns.
Only seek opportunities with a high probability of an upside five times
greater than the downside.
Through most cycles our exposure will remain net long.
Cash remains the default in the absence of greater opportunities.
We remain flexible and opportunistic in the search for value.

Concentration

DRAFT COPY. NOT AN OFFER TO


PURCHASE OR SELL SECURITIES.

The portfolio will typically consist of 8 15 highest conviction ideas.


The portfolio will be built one solid idea at a time.
A few great, high-conviction ideas are better than a hundred mediocre
ideas (other typical funds).
Performance over time correlates to the outcome of these particular ideas
rather than to the performance of the market.
With only 8 stocks, for example, a portfolio achieves 80% diversification
(assuming industries are diversified and uncorrelated). With 100 stocks,
one achieves 88% diversification.
These ideas are scalable and can be any market capitalization
across industries.
