Mayar Capital Management generates excess returns over the long term by applying a disciplined value investing strategy across global securities markets.

We share the same philosophy with many of history’s greatest investors. Starting with Benjamin Graham and Walter Schloss to Warren Buffett and John Templeton to today’s value investors like Bruce Berkowitz, David Einhorn, Joel Greenblatt, and Seth Klarman. All of them have out-performed the market over decades by applying the value investing strategy of purchasing assets only when they trade significantly below their conservative estimate of intrinsic value.

We are patient and disciplined. We invest for the very long run. We don't view ourselves as investing in little pieces of paper that trade in stock markets. Behind every stock there is a real business and we, the shareholders, collectively own that business. This mental framework drives our decision-making process.

We look for companies with understandable, sustainable, and ethical business models that have:
- Favorable long-term prospects
- Significant barriers to entry (“moats”) and high returns on capital
- A strong financial position (low debt, ample cash flow)
- Quality, shareholder-friendly management
- Trading significantly below our conservative estimate of intrinsic value

We place significant amounts of our capital into such rare opportunities and continue to own such companies as long as these conditions are satisfied.

Most of the time, the successful execution our strategy requires us to act against the crowd. In the words of Warren Buffett, we try to “be fearful when others are greedy. [and] be greedy when others are fearful.” Our edge over other market participants is having a much longer investment horizon, better temperament, and the investment discipline to "stay the course", especially in down and volatile markets.
