We aspire to produce superior risk-adjusted returns for our shareholders, through enabling our partners to deliver superior cost-adjusted performance to our customers.We focus on the long term, and we seek to make a few disproportionately impactful wise decisions per year. Although our scope may occasionally encompass many industries, we have the discipline to stay within our circle of competence. Our company is structured to efficiently combine operating businesses together with publicly traded securities, and we have a flexible mandate to find various types of profitable opportunities that may arise from time to time. Overall, we are trying to prudently buy things for significantly less than what they are worth (the sum of all the future free cash flows discounted back to the present) by an appropriate margin of safety (the difference between price and value), allocate resources efficiently, sell high-quality products as well as services that delight our customers, and operate the company in a shareholder-friendly manner that maximizes the return on invested capital of the business that our shareholders own.
