Background

  • Introduction
    -- Buckley Capital Management, LLC (BCM) is a long-biased, deep value-oriented equity fund focused on businesses with consistent long term growth, founded in Jan. 2011
    -- BCM’s objective is first and foremost the preservation of capital, while also producing above-average returns through conservative/heavily discounted equity investing with an open mandate to allow us to exploit market inefficiencies in any industry or market capitalization
    -- BCM manages a limited partnership and separately managed accounts
  • Investment Philosophy Overview
    -- Buckley Capital Partners, LP is a long biased, value and special situation focused long biased equity fund
    -- BCP’s discipline is to only invest in situations with asymmetric risk-reward return characteristics
    -- The fund employs a fundamental approach that is research intensive and concentrated, focused primarily in small cap equities
    • Extensive due diligence and bottom-up research into every investment with periodic physical visits and close links with management
    • Evaluate an investment idea as if buying the entire company, with a focus on buying with a large margin of safety

Investment Philosophy

  • Core Strategy
    -- Focus on transparent, predictable, underfollowed companies at very attractive valuations such as:
    • Owner-operator managers where the CEO is the founder and has the majority of his net worth in the business, thus properly incentivizing him
    • Businesses with a long term track record of compounding at a high growth rate
    • Invest in businesses that are only a small portion of their tangible addressable market (TAM) but could expand to a much larger portion of their market over time, providing a long runway for growth
    • High barriers to entry and high returns on equity, with the ability to profitably reinvest capital
      -- Limited dependence on debt financing
      -- Free optionality from hidden assets

Investment Criteria

  • Conviction comes from a profound understanding of the management team’s incentives and capabilities which is reinforced by frequent physical visits
  • Margin of safety: prefer great investments that are simple and transparent
  • Limited downside supported by high quality businesses with consistent, predictable cash flow generation and manageable debt
    -- Cash and securities on balance sheet
    -- Hidden tangible assets (e.g. stakes in other businesses/real estate)
    -- High free cash flow yield
  • Rapid growth in the intrinsic value of the underlying business
  • Negative sentiment and/or short-term events can cause a fundamental disconnect between price and value
  • Conviction is essential. Should be compelled to buy more if the stock price fell with no change in the business fundamentals

Risk Management

  • Wealth Preserving Portfolio Construction
    -- Little to no leverage
    -- Invest in easy to understand, transparent businesses at great prices
    -- Invest in companies: view investments as owning entire companies, not speculating on stock prices
    -- Focus on asymmetries of returns: look for ‘fat pitch’ situations where probability-weighted risk-reward is heavily in our favor
    -- Concentration: ideally comprised of 10-15 core long positions
    -- Constantly reevaluate every investment: mistakes are inevitable, realizing them quickly and remaining emotionally unattached to securities is extremely important in protecting against capital loss
