Twin Lions Management LLC is an investment
management firm based in Stamford, CT
“A few major opportunities, clearly recognizable as such, will usually come to one who continuously searches and waits, with a curious mind, loving diagnosis involving multiple variables. And then all that is required is a willingness to bet big when the odds are extremely favorable, using resources available as a result of prudence and patience in the past.”
We think of common stocks as fractional ownership interests in real businesses, not as pieces of paper to be traded endlessly back and forth. By extension, we think of ourselves and our partners as business owners. We seek common stock investments in companies with the following characteristics:
Once we have identified a business that meets each of our criteria, we prefer to remain invested for several years. Our portfolio typically consists of approximately 5-15 investments with low turnover from year to year. The majority of our investments are in small, mid, and micro-cap securities listed in North America, but our mandate gives us broad flexibility to invest in companies of any size or geography.
Our experience has taught us that great investment opportunities are rare, so we concentrate clients' capital in our very best ideas.
