Investment Philosophy

Built Upon Four Beliefs

True alpha opportunities are rarely identified immediately. They’re realized through a patient long-term lens.
Through its proven, in-depth research process, FK Capital captures the most exceptional companies with strong long-term potential. Doing so is only achievable using a robust ‘big picture’ approach that functions beyond short-term outlooks.

Wide moats are reflected by more than balance sheets. Understanding intangibles is essential
FK Capital goes above and beyond by paying special attention to the many intangibles that define strong brands. Understanding these intangibles involves directly experiencing the products and services of potential portfolio names and maintaining a close connection to the mindsets and preferences of the millennial generation.

Companies that harness innovation, capture trends and are led by the best teams will thrive
The most valuable opportunities come from companies that strive to achieve optimal employee culture, cutting-edge products and services and, ultimately, a positive long-term impact on the lives of consumers. Conversely, companies that lack a vision for future success will wither over time.

FK Capital’s philosophy is summarized by the words of Warren Buffet:

“Time is the friend of the wonderful business and the enemy of the mediocre.”

Put simply, alpha is achieved by looking beyond the short term – toward true innovators with strong long-term visions that form a concentrated portfolio of strictly the best ideas.

Build alpha through patience, high conviction and identification of catalysts
FK Capital approaches each situation as if it were buying 100% of a company’s equity. Thus, it provides a concentrated portfolio of only the best investment ideas, supported by the identification of a catalyst that will accelerate earnings growth beyond market expectations.
