Faithful to our strong views
We invest in Value
At Cobas Asset Management we are faithful to our value investment philosophy, based on buying companies at a price below their intrinsic value and always with a long-term vision.
Higher value
Competitive advantages
Entry barriers
Hidden assets
Lower price
Inefficient market
Old-fashion
Little tracking
Analysis + Selection + Patience = Best Returns
Analysis
We spend time analysing listed companies, taking an in-depth look at their competitive edge and the quality and durability of their business, until ascertaining their true value.
Selection
We invest in undervalued shares in businesses that are easy to understand and provide sustainable high returns at a lower price than their intrinsic value would warrant, i.e., we give ourselves a wide safety margin.
Patience
On the strength of careful analysis, accurate valuation and cautious selection, time works in our favour. We wait for as long as necessary until the quoted market price finally recognises the true value of the companies we invest in.
Faithful to our strong views
We continue to buy undervalued assets to preserve the long-term purchasing power of our investors’ savings. We do not try to predict short-term shifts in the market, which are as unpredictable as the people who populate them. Rather, we look to the long-term performance of the assets we are interested in.

Patiently going against the current
A willingness to do the opposite of what the market suggests is our main hallmark. That’s why we buy what no one seems to want, and sell what everyone wants to buy. Because we have a very clear focus. Our main strength is patience. We wait until our investments reach the target values. Because we analyse a company as if we were about to buy it. If the analysis checks out, we go ahead and invest.

Volatility is opportunity
Volatility is not really a risk for us. Volatility creates great opportunities; risk involves a permanent capital loss. We think that the higher the volatility the better return we shall achieve over the long term.
Our performance does not depend on our work alone: it also depends on the irrationality of other market players.
