Investment Strategy

Fundamental
Equities Investing

At MBP Capital we apply a disciplined, bottom-up philosophy to global equity selection, valuing each company on the economic cash it can generate through an enduring competitive moat. We are deliberately contrarian when the market's narrative diverges from intrinsic value, yet price-conscious—accepting the occasional opportunity cost of walking away if the margin of safety is thin.

Our research focuses on what truly constitutes a durable moat, the sustainability of a firm's earnings power, and the risk of permanent capital loss; macro forecasts and short-term price signals play no part in our decisions.

In short, we seek high-quality businesses at rational prices, confident that patience and rigorous downside protection are the surest route to superior long-term returns.
