Cecropia Capital is a a long-horizon, quantitative private investment fund that maximizes its return to investors through value investments in the global markets. The value strategy we employ is based on the conceptual framework of Warren Buffett, Joel Greenblatt, and Monish Pabrai.We seek to buy above-average businesses at below-average prices, then we wait the 6 months to 5 years necessary for the market price to come into line with the value of the business. We target securities which we believe have the potential to double to triple in price over the next 2-5 years, while, in our opinion, posing minimal downside risk. We hold a small number of concentrated positions.Investors include high net worth individuals, family trusts, and family offices.
