Public Equity

Investment Management at ABLS takes a low-risk approach to equities investing, led by consistent, objective, and rational decision-making. Our portfolio is subjected to a strict set of investing criteria with the goal of generating good risk-adjusted returns for our clients over time.

Our guiding principles are as follows:

  • Invest in well-established, cash-generating companies that are market leaders in key products and services.
  • Require that investments be purchased at a discount to our assessment of intrinsic value* at the time of purchase (e.g., a margin of safety** in the stock price).
  • Invest in a small number of companies to reduce the risk of unanticipated company-specific problems, and only in companies that meet stringent business and value standards.
  • Think like a business owner or operator by retaining a stake in a company for a long time to compound wealth and lower transaction expenses.

* ABLS's estimate of the present value of the cash that a business can generate and distribute to shareholders over its remaining life.
* *A margin of safety exists when we believe there is a significant discount to intrinsic value at the time of purchase- we aim to purchase at 75% of our estimate to intrinsic value or less.
