Business Description
Anabranch Capital Management, LP is an investment advisory firm that focuses on concentrated portfolios, aiming to manage this concentration to avoid excessive exposure to any individual security, sector, or risk factor. They believe their thorough due diligence process and focus on investing in businesses with strong fundamentals mitigate risk. They may also short securities to hedge specific exposures.
The firm engages in rigorous due diligence when evaluating potential investments and consistently monitors existing holdings. Their research process involves analyzing financial statements, regulatory filings, and proprietary or third-party datasets, constructing detailed financial models, interviewing customers, suppliers, and competitors, and meeting with company management teams. They have a strong bias towards owning businesses with attractive growth prospects, compelling customer value propositions, and market-leading and durable competitive positions.
Investment Strategy
The Adviser utilizes a concentrated, fundamental long-term investment strategy focused on generating high risk-adjusted returns. They seek securities trading at a discount to their intrinsic value, aiming for significant capital appreciation over a multi-year horizon. The Adviser prioritizes businesses with compelling customer value propositions, market-leading positions, and attractive growth prospects, especially when led by capable management teams.
The Adviser believes identifying mispriced securities is rare and resource-intensive, leading to a highly concentrated approach with typically 8-12 positions in a client's portfolio. This results in limited diversification. The Adviser has a long-term focus, seeking investments with the potential for attractive compounded returns over 3-5 years, prioritizing long-term growth over short-term volatility. While primarily long-biased, the Adviser may short securities to hedge specific exposures or when they believe the market has overvalued a security.
