Quarterly Investor Letter March 2015
Quarterly investor letter March 2015 ‘In the short term the market is like a voting machine tallying up which firms are popular and unpopular. In the long run, the mar- ket is like a weighing machine—assessing the substance of a company.’ Benjamin Graham Dear fellow shareholders, As long term investors, the partners at Castlebay are wary of measuring investment performance over short periods of time, such as a calendar quarter or even a year. Our approach to this quarterly letter is to set out for you our investment philosophy and to update you along the way, in what we hope will be a long and prosperous investment journey with us. As stock-pickers we shall highlight one or two stock examples in each letter. Through our commentary we aim to explain clearly how we ‘assess the substance of the companies’ in which we invest, whilst ignoring the market herd who ‘vote’ with increasing frequency and cost, due to their myopia. The value of investments can fall as well as rise and you might not get back what you have invested. Our guiding principles are set out below and we hope you enjoy the read! Our guiding principles: Transparency & alignment of best interests with our fellow shareholders Adherence to our investment philosophy and process—high quality & supportive valuations Independence of thought in order to avoid the market herd A focus on costs: management fees capped, low turnover of companies in the fund The Portfolio in the first quarter 2015 The launch of the fund at the end of January coincided with a strong recovery in Petrofac which had sold off heavily in the final quarter of 2014 as the price of oil plummeted & investors became irrational sellers of all oil related companies. -
