Twin Lions Management LLC is an investment management firm based in Stamford, CT

Twin Lions employs a concentrated, value-oriented approach to investing in publicly traded securities. Our investment objectives are:
1
To safeguard the long-term purchasing power of the capital our clients have entrusted to us
2
To deliver net returns substantially in excess of benchmark indices over the course of a full market cycle
We believe the best way to achieve these objectives is to purchase shares in a group of sound, well managed companies when they sell significantly below their intrinsic business values.

“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.”

- Charlie Munger
Investment Philosophy

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:

1
An underlying business that earns attractive returns on the resources it employs
2
A talented and trustworthy management team whose interests are aligned with shareholders'
3
A purchase price that represents a substantial discount from our estimate of intrinsic value

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.
