We view stocks not just as random numbers on a screen but instead for what they are: an ownership interest in an actual business with an underlying value that does not depend on its share price. Because of this, we are different than most other managers who usually equate risk to volatility and partake in broad diversification.
Our Investment Philosophy
Every company in our portfolio is researched and tracked extensively. As a client you'll also be provided with quarterly letters. These letters will typically cover what we own and why we own it. We also try to make ourselves readily available to discuss any position in the portfolio with you - we're just a phone call or email away!
You’ll Know What You Own & Why You Own It
Due to advances in technology the stock market is mostly efficient today. Almost any earnings report, press release, or company transcript is a mere five-second Google search away. As Charlie Munger once said, "The first rule of fishing is to fish where the fish are." We believe small caps reside in mostly uncharted lakes with far fewer fishermen than the rest of the market.
Our Strategy, And Why We Focus On Small Caps
Our goal, like many other managers, is to preserve and grow your wealth over the long term. However, we believe our approach to be differentiated when compared to most other managers. Our ambition is to outperform our relevant indexes over the long term - these two aren't mutually exclusive, and only time will tell if we can achieve both in tandem.
Atai Capital will close to new investors at $50M in AUM.
We believe that in order to better achieve our goal & ambition that limiting our AUM is necessary to protect our clients’ growth runway and maintain our large investible universe.
