Over the past five years, I’ve built a concentrated, research-driven portfolio rooted in fundamentals, with a strong focus on free cash flow, capital allocation, and downside protection. My approach is inspired by the thinking of Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger, looking for businesses I can understand, with durable economics, disciplined leadership, and a fair or undervalued price. My investment lens is business-owner driven. I aim to understand how a company makes money, where the risks are, and whether management has a track record of rational decision-making.
