Investment Philosophy

Auscap is a quality first, value focused Australian equities manager.  

Quality first means investing in businesses that have: 

  • competitive advantages resulting in superior economic outcomes and higher returns on capital than competitors 
  • opportunities for investment at high incremental rates of return, leading to good earnings growth  
  • simple business models with high and reliable cash generation 
  • aligned, often founder led, management teams that respect and value their shareholders 
  • a strong balance sheet, with a sensible capital structure in place    

Value focused is about: 

  • evaluating the fundamentals of a business to form a view on company worth 
  • having the patience and discipline to invest at prices that are at or below fair value 
  • investing more capital in higher conviction opportunities
