# Twin Lions Management LLC is an investment management firm based in Stamford, CT
Twin Lions employs a concentrated, value-oriented approach to investing in publicly traded securities.
Our investment objectives are:
*1*
*To safeguard the long-term purchasing power of the capital
our clients have entrusted to us*
*2*
*To deliver net returns substantially in excess of benchmark
indices over the course of a full market cycle*
We believe the best
way to achieve these objectives is to purchase shares in a group of
sound, well managed companies when they sell significantly below
their intrinsic business values.
“A few major opportunities, clearly recognizable as such, will
usually come to one who continuously searches and waits, with
a curious mind, loving diagnosis involving multiple variables.
And then all that is required is a willingness to bet big when
the odds are extremely favorable, using resources available as
a result of prudence and patience in the past.”
- Charlie Munger
Investment Philosophy
We think of common stocks as fractional ownership interests in
real businesses, not as pieces of paper to be traded endlessly back
and forth. By extension, we think of ourselves and our partners as
business owners. We seek common stock investments in companies with
the following characteristics:
*An underlying business that earns attractive returns on the
resources it employs*
*A talented and trustworthy management team whose interests are
aligned with shareholders'*
*3*
*A purchase price that represents a
substantial discount from our estimate of intrinsic value*
Once we have identified a business that meets each of our criteria,
we prefer to remain invested for several years. Our portfolio typically
consists of approximately 5-15 investments with low turnover from year
to year. The majority of our investments are in small, mid, and micro-cap
securities listed in North America, but our mandate gives us broad
flexibility to invest in companies of any size or geography.
Our
experience has taught us that great investment opportunities are
rare, so we concentrate clients' capital in our very best ideas.
