Tributary’s Investment Philosophy and Process
Tributary’s strategies are built on our core belief that quality businesses, trading at a discount to fair value, provides the best opportunity to generate consistent excess returns. While there are many characteristics of quality businesses, we believe they possess two key attributes: their intrinsic value will grow over time, providing a powerful “wealth compounding” effect, and they reduce the risk of permanent loss of capital. However, merely owning a good business does not assure success, it is also dependent upon the price paid.
Our approach incorporates value investing principles. We believe stocks trading at a discount to fair or intrinsic value exhibit attractive traits: they offer the potential for excess returns as the valuation gap closes, and they introduce a margin of safety, which reduces price risk in the event of unexpected developments.
Combining these concepts is the essence of our strategy. We invest in good businesses at discounted prices and expect to hold those companies for long periods of time. Applied across a diversified portfolio, we believe this philosophy will generate greater long-term, risk-adjusted returns.
Tributary employs a team approach to assess investments which leverages the knowledge and experience of our entire investment team. This is a valuable aspect of our process and a key tool in thoroughly understanding the risks and opportunities associated with an investment. Portfolio managers have the final decision for all buy and sell decisions, sizing and portfolio construction. Our portfolios tend to be fairly concentrated, striking a balance that allows stock selection to drive performance, while managing company-specific risk.
