Practical applications of our structural value investing philosophy
At RiverPark Advisory, our investment strategies are the practical application of our core philosophy, Structural Value Investing. Each strategy is designed to meet specific long-term objectives, and together they form a unified framework. Each strategy is built upon the same foundational pillars of quality, patience, and a deep, global perspective.
They represent our unwavering commitment to disciplined, research driven wealth stewardship, designed to navigate complex markets and build enduring legacies.
Our Global Value Equity strategy is the cornerstone of our investment approach. We seek to identify and own a portfolio of what we believe to be the world's most resilient and competitively advantaged companies. Our process begins with a simple yet profound question: Which businesses possess the enduring characteristics that will allow them to not only survive but thrive over the next decade and beyond.
Our definition of value extends far beyond simple accounting metrics. We seek intrinsic value, which we believe is a function of a company's sustainable cash flow generation, the integrity of its management team, and its strategic position within its industry. This disciplined pursuit of quality forms the bedrock of our effort to compound capital responsibly over the long term.
We operate without geographical constraints, believing that exceptional opportunities can be found in any market by those willing to conduct exhaustive, independent research. Our team of analysts delves deep into company fundamentals, industry dynamics, and competitive landscapes. This is a bottom-up approach, driven by our own proprietary analysis and focused on uncovering a company's intrinsic value.
Each potential investment undergoes a rigorous vetting process. We engage in extensive financial modeling, conduct interviews with management teams, and speak with industry experts to build a comprehensive, multi-faceted view of a business. Our focus is on uncovering the hidden value often overlooked by a short-term-focused market.
In a world driven by immediacy, we believe that patience is one of the most powerful and scarce assets an investor can possess. Our Global Value Equity strategy is built around a long term holding period. Once we have made an investment in a high quality business at an attractive valuation, our preference is to remain invested for many years.
This commitment to long term ownership enables us to look past short term market volatility and focus on what truly matters: the underlying performance and strategic execution of the businesses we own.
Our Cross-Atlantic Growth strategy is a direct extension of our firm's unique heritage and expertise. It seeks to identify companies poised for significant long term growth, but does so through the disciplined lens of our value oriented philosophy. We seek to invest in innovative and market-leading businesses when their long-term prospects are not fully reflected in their current market price.
This strategy capitalizes on our deep understanding of both the American and European markets. It is predicated on the belief that a structural valuation approach can be powerfully applied to growth oriented companies, helping to identify true, sustainable expansion while avoiding speculative excess.
The core thesis of this strategy is to harness the powerful synergies between two of the world's most important economic regions. We see immense opportunity at the intersection of North American technological dynamism and Europe's established industrial strength and brand resilience.
This transatlantic perspective allows us to see value where others may see complexity. We can appreciate the conservative balance sheet of a German engineering firm and also understand the vast addressable market of a Silicon Valley startup.
By operating seamlessly across continents, our team is able to connect dots that others may miss. An understanding of European regulatory shifts can inform our view of an American company's global potential. Likewise, insights into the latest technological trends from Silicon Valley can help us identify which European incumbents are best prepared for disruption.
Successful transatlantic investing requires more than just financial analysis. It demands a deep fluency in different business cultures, corporate governance standards, and regulatory environments. Our team's collective experience, forged over decades of working in both New York and Stockholm, provides this crucial layer of qualitative understanding.
Our Focused Quality Portfolio strategy represents the highest expression of our investment convictions. It is a concentrated portfolio composed of a select number of our very best investment ideas, drawn from our extensive global research. This strategy is designed for clients who share our belief that true, long-term outperformance is achieved through a disciplined focus on exceptional businesses.
Building a concentrated portfolio is an act of confidence and discipline. It requires an unwavering commitment to our most rigorous research and a willingness to deviate significantly from market benchmarks.
The criteria for inclusion in this portfolio are exceptionally high. A company must not only pass our standard due diligence process but must also demonstrate a truly superior set of characteristics. We are looking for the undisputed leaders in their respective fields, businesses with formidable competitive moats, pristine balance sheets, and visionary management teams.
Each holding is intended to be a meaningful position, reflecting our strong belief in its long term potential. The construction of this portfolio is therefore a slow and deliberate process.
Investing in the Focused Quality Portfolio is a true partnership with our firm. It offers clients a direct participation in the investment opportunities that we ourselves find most compelling. The performance of this strategy is a direct reflection of our team's core analytical capabilities and our long term judgment.
Our Global Strategic Income strategy is designed for clients whose primary objectives are the preservation of capital and the generation of a consistent and attractive stream of income. In today's low yield environment, the search for income often leads investors to take on unintended risks. Our approach is designed to counter this, prioritizing prudent risk management at every stage of the investment process.
We believe that sustainable income is a byproduct of high quality assets. Our focus is therefore on identifying resilient income generating securities and strategies from around the world.
We take a flexible and opportunistic approach, seeking the best risk-adjusted income opportunities wherever they may be found, moving beyond the confines of a traditional fixed-income benchmark. Our investment universe is broad, allowing us to be dynamic in our capital allocation as market conditions evolve.
