Reality
Evidence before narrative.A compelling story is not enough. The facts, incentives, valuation and behavior of the market must support the thesis.
Public equities & liquid futures
Creemore Capital Management is being developed as an independent investment firm focused on concentrated opportunities in public equities and liquid futures.
Its intended approach combines fundamental research, market judgment and explicit risk controls, with the long-term objective of protecting and compounding capital.
Price is the dependent variable.
Opening statement
Judgment under uncertainty
Markets are shaped by stories, expectations, incentives and emotion. Results are ultimately determined by price.
Creemore is being built to distinguish what is persuasive from what is true, what is possible from what is probable and what is attractive from what is investable.
The process emphasizes deep research, defined risk and concentration only when conviction has been earned.
The three foundations
Think independently. Define the risk.
Act with conviction. Accept responsibility.
A compelling story is not enough. The facts, incentives, valuation and behavior of the market must support the thesis.
Every position begins with the conditions under which we may be wrong. Survival is the foundation of compounding.
Capital and attention are concentrated where the evidence is strongest. We do not diversify merely to resemble the market.
Institutional discipline
Built around the work
Creemore is being built around the quality of its investment decisions.
Growth, scale and organizational complexity must remain subordinate to the process. The manager remains close to the research, portfolio construction, execution and responsibility for results.
The objective is not to become larger for its own sake. The objective is to build an enduring investment institution capable of producing exceptional work.
The origin
Tujunga, California
Creemore takes its name from Creemore Place in Tujunga, California, where founder Sean Burns grew up.
The name is a reminder of where the firm began and of the standard by which it intends to operate: remain grounded, think independently and build something worthy of enduring.
Ambition does not require forgetting where you came from.
A shared standard
Creemore welcomes conversations with members of the investment community and potential partners who share a long-term standard of seriousness, alignment and accountability. The firm is not currently offering investment products or advisory services.
