“…I found many books from the 1920s and 1930s on business. Among them was a book written by Benjamin Graham and David Dodd on security analysis. It changed my life and my investment philosophy forever.”
The fund’s stated objective is the growth of long term capital, with income as a secondary consideration. First Pacific utilizes a fundamental, bottoms-up approach to select investment opportunities, with special attention to equities that may have fallen out of favor as reflected in their P/E and P/B ratios. In order to minimize risk from investing in these so called “fallen” equities, meticulous research is utilized to find deep-value in these companies with strong leadership. Furthermore, special consideration is given to the following factors:
A. Current / future levels of profitability.
B. Book Value
C. Replacement cost of assets
D. Free Cash flow
E. Overall balance sheet health
