What Our Logo Says About Our Investment Philosophy

 

Our logo isn’t just a design — it reflects how we think, how we invest, and how we serve our clients. It combines two powerful symbols:

🔼 The Pyramid:

Inspired by Coach John Wooden’s Pyramid of Success, this symbol represents the foundations of great investing.

A few key principles we live by:

🛠️ Industriousness

“Success travels in the company of very hard work.”

We do our own deep dive research. 

Example:

During the 2014 oil crash, we spent the week after Christmas **on-site in North Dakota** (in -40°F wind chills, while our competitors were in the office, or skiing, or on a beach) talking to managers throughout the oil supply chain (oil, frack sand transload facilities, pipeline operators, construction rental equipment companies), to discuss how the economics of shale oil were changing, and how companies in the region were responding.

We used these meetings to:

1) inform our models for tank railcar demand, frack sand demand, and oil rig demand, and

2) developed a profitable pair-trade thesis where we recommended that our hedge fund clients go “long” natural sand producers and “short” artificial sand producers.

We believe hard work pays off — and we go the extra mile to prove it.

🧘‍♂️ Self-Control

We don’t chase hype or jump on every hot stock.

We stay disciplined and always invest within your risk tolerance and long-term goals..  

👀 Alertness

“Be observing constantly. Stay open-minded. Be eager to learn and improve.”

We’re always scanning for opportunity — and for signals that it might be time to move on from an investment. Staying curious keeps your portfolio better positioned.

💪 Intentness

“Stay the course. Persevere relentlessly.”

Every investor makes mistakes. What sets us apart is how we **learn, adapt, and grow** from them.

We’re in it for the long game — with you.

 

☯️ The Taijitu (Yin Yang)

This ancient symbol represents balance — light and dark, risk and reward, greed and fear.

That balance is at the core of our investment process.

We Focus on Two Things:

1. Understanding you — your unique risk appetite and financial goals.

2. Finding mispriced opportunities — when the market overreacts, we stay calm and objective, ready to act. How?

Valuation is our North Star

We don’t guess — we model. Using experience from Wall Street and equity research at UBS, we dig into:

  • Revenues

  • Margins

  • Competitive strengths

  • Industry trends

  • Long-term earnings potential

Every investment is backed by thorough analysis and a clear understanding of value.

Because your hard-earned savings deserve more than speculation — they deserve strategy, insight, and care.

At Peace of Mind, We Invest with Purpose

We balance risk and reward.

We do the work.

We stay disciplined — so you can stay confident.

Your peace of mind is our priority.
