We believe in long-term ownership of wonderful businesses, guided by Duan Yongping’s Benfen philosophy - rational, think long-term, with common sense.
我们相信长期持有优秀企业，遵循段永平的“本分”哲学 — 平常心、理性、看长远；不做不该做的事情，在能力边界内把该做的事情做好。
"Benfen is to insist doing the right things — and then doing things right."
"本分就是要坚持做对的事情，然后把事情做对。"
"When wrong, correct it — the sooner, the cheaper."
"错了要马上改，越早改代价越小。"
"If you don't understand it, don't touch it — money made without understanding is risky and dangerous."
"不懂的东西不要碰，不懂赚的钱是有风险的，是很危险的。"
— Duan Yongping (段永平)
Benfen Capital was founded on the belief that true wealth creation requires patience, discipline, and a moral compass. We act as a bridge for capital, connecting it with exceptional businesses globally. Guided by the value investing principles of Benjamin Graham, Warren Buffett, and Charles T. Munger, we seek to be long-term owners of high-quality companies with meaningful economic moats and strong growth potential, run by trustworthy people. Our goal is to compound wealth through enduring ownership and first-principles thinking.
本分资本基于这样的信念：真正的财富创造需要耐心、纪律和道德准则。我们是资本的桥梁，将其与全球卓越企业相连接。遵循本杰明·格雷厄姆、沃伦·巴菲特和查理·芒格的价值投资原则，我们致力于长期持有由值得信赖的人经营的、具有显著经济护城河和强劲增长潜力的高质量公司。我们的目标是通过持久的所有权和第一性原理思维来复利财富。
Investing is not about activity. It is about ownership.
投资不是频繁交易，而是长期持有。
Cash quietly loses value over time. Investing in wonderful businesses preserves wealth and allows it to compound over the long term.
现金会在时间中悄然贬值。投资于优秀的企业，才能守住财富，并在长期中实现复利增长。
Investing turns idle capital into ownership of businesses that generate growing cash flows over time.
投资将闲置资本转化为企业所有权，这些企业能随时间推移持续创造不断增长的现金流。
Let your assets do the work, so you don't have to — and reclaim your freedom to live and work on your own terms.
让资产替你工作，而不是你一直工作——从而重获按照自己方式生活与工作的自由。

We are long-term business owners.
我们是长期的企业所有者。
We see ourselves as owners, not chart readers. Our philosophy is to filter opportunities with discipline, ignoring short-term noise and swinging only at "fat pitches" — ideas that land squarely within our circle of competence, offer real micro-economic advantage, and are led by trustworthy people. Like Ted Williams, who divided the strike zone into 77 cells and swung only at his best ones, we believe investing is not about hitting everything, but hitting the right thing with conviction. Most prices the market throws at us are pitches we happily watch go by. When we find a company with strong fundamentals, durable competitive moats, and long-term compounding potential, we swing hard and hold for decades. We avoid the twin errors of over-trading and under-committing: success comes from acting rarely, rationally, and decisively when it truly matters — protecting capital, backing quality, and owning patiently.
我们是长期的企业所有者。我们把自己视为企业主人，而不是市场行情的技术分析师。我们相信投资机会需要用纪律去筛选，忽略短期噪音，只在能力圈内、具备真实微观经济优势、并由值得信赖的人经营的企业上下注。就像Ted Williams把好球区分成77个小格、只在最好的格子里挥棒一样，我们认为投资不是要什么都打，而是在真正重要的机会出现时，重仓出击。市场每天向我们抛来的价格大多只是"球"，我们只需一笑而过，安心旁观。只有当我们找到基本面扎实、竞争壁垒稳固、具备长期复利潜力、且管理者可信的企业时，我们才会果断挥棒，长期持有数十年。我们避免两类同样致命的错误：交易过度和下注不足。真正的成功来自在机会出现时行动稀少、决策理性、出手坚决——守住资本、相信品质、耐心持有。
"Risk comes from not knowing what you're doing." — Warren Buffett
We define risk as the permanent loss of capital. As Charlie Munger say, "Invert. Always invert." We avoid capital destroyers like plague.
We won't do any of the above.
Understanding our philosophy is crucial before investing. We have compiled our principles into an Owner's Manual.
