Exploring Chris Mayer's High-Quality Investment Strategy and Holdings
Chris Mayer, following Buffett's approach, focuses on high-quality investments with strict criteria. His strategy involves holding companies with high insider ownership, clean balance sheets, strong compounding rates, proven management, and execution track record. Not many companies meet these criteria. Mayer has a high conviction in holdings like co-part and consolation software, emphasizing their exceptional characteristics like great culture, long-term thinking, and financial performance. Despite some considering co-part expensive, Mayer believes in its long-term compounding potential and competitive strength. He transitioned from deep value plays to high-quality businesses that he deems solid for long-term compounding. Mayer looks for companies with above-average compounding rates and potential for reinvestment and growth, not aiming solely for 100-baggers. His focus lies on principles highlighted in the hunter baggers book, aligning with his investment philosophy.
