The Commodore Advantage
We are guided by the original principles of valuation and investing that have withstood the test of time. Businesses and technologies change, but the principles of investing don't.
1. Bottom-up, fundamental research
We do our own research and maintain independence of thought. We rely on our own judgment and analysis, and are influenced neither by the latest fads in the market, nor by Wall Street noise.
2. Patience
We know that it may take time for market values to catch up with intrinsic values of our investments and we are happy to wait. We are playing the long game and are undeterred by short-term movements.
3. Technology
Fintuitive, an affiliate of Commodore, has a proprietary database that comprises millions of regulatory filings. We use Fintuitive to generate new ideas, discover new insights and analyze investment opportunities.

Quality Investing
Commodore pursues a long-only US equity strategy. Our strategy employs a bottom-up fundamental approach to identify high-quality businesses. Our investments have characteristics like predictable earnings, high returns on capital employed, efficient capital allocation, and shareholder-friendly management teams.
Returns on Capital
We look for companies that are capital efficient and have high rates of return on capital employed. In addition, we look for efficient and rational capital allocation by management.
Predictable Earnings
We invest in companies that have organic and predictable earnings growth. We reduce risk by focusing only on companies where we can reasonably forecast sales and earnings.
Shareholder Friendly
We carefully analyze capital allocation decisions by management teams. We only invest in companies where management has a history of making decisions that treat shareholders like owners.
