Managing your money as if it was our own

What makes our investment approach different?

At GFI, we focus on rational, long-term, public market investing. We have a combined 50+ years of experience, and a repeatable and disciplined investment approach. We seek out businesses with durable competitive advantages and believe that risk management and return opportunities come from understanding a select group of companies intimately well. We take our time in getting to know the businesses we invest in through our proprietary due diligence process and not relying on third party research. When we invest, we become part-owners of a business.

We are proud of the wealth creation we have generated for our clients through our investments. Our strategy of identifying high-quality businesses with strong fundamentals has enabled us to establish a track record of success.
