Investment Principles

My Investment Principles

I. Mission and Guiding Philosophy

My mission is to preserve and compound wealth across generations — slowly, rationally, and honorably.

True alignment in investing can only be achieved with an owner's mindset.

I treat every investment as if I were buying the entire business and holding it for many years. I aim to compound wealth not through cleverness, trading, or prediction, but through long-term ownership of exceptional companies run by capable, honest, rational managers.

II. Why I Write This

This document is a record of the principles I hold myself to — a compass I return to when markets get noisy and emotions run high.

Writing these down forces clarity. If I cannot articulate why I own something or why I follow a certain rule, then I probably don't understand it well enough. This manual is as much a tool for self-discipline as it is a way to share my thinking with others.

III. Culture and Mindset

Owner Mindset

Every action begins with the question: "What would a rational, long-term business owner do?" My default action is often inaction, until the right opportunity appears.

Humility and Continuous Learning

I openly acknowledge the limits of my knowledge. I remain a student for life.

Rationality

Decisions grounded in evidence rather than emotion.

Patience

Time is the friend of a wonderful business.

Integrity and Benfen (本分)

Doing the right thing and doing things right.

IV. Capitalism Done Well

I believe in capitalism that benefits all participants. My preferred investments are businesses that:

  • Create genuine value
  • Are durable and essential
  • Treat people well
  • Can compound internally for long periods

V. Investment Principles

Only invest within my circle of competence

The biggest risk in investing is not knowing what you're doing.

Buy high-quality businesses

Durable moats, pricing power, exceptional management, high returns on capital.

Insist on a margin of safety

Buy when the price is plainly below conservative intrinsic value.

Ignore short-term market behavior

Markets fluctuate. Businesses compound. I focus on the latter.

Long-Term Intent, Ongoing Evaluation

"Long-term holding" is an intention and mindset at the time of purchase — not a rigid dogma. When I make an investment decision, I act on the expectation of holding for the long term. But throughout the holding period, I must continuously evaluate opportunity costs. The reasons for holding must withstand ongoing scrutiny.

VI. My "Not-Doing List"

  • I do not speculate.
  • I do not chase trends.
  • I do not use leverage.
  • I do not engage in short-term trading.
  • I do not over-diversify.
  • I do not invest outside my competence.
  • I do not compromise integrity for returns.

投资原则

我的投资原则

一、使命与指导哲学

我的使命是跨代保护并复利财富——缓慢地、理性地、诚实地。

投资中真正的利益一致只能通过所有者心态来实现。

我对待每一项投资都如同购买整个企业并持有多年。我的目标不是通过聪明、交易或预测来复利财富,而是通过长期持有由能力卓越、诚实、理性的管理者经营的优秀公司。

二、为什么写这些

这份文档是我用来约束自己的原则记录——一个在市场嘈杂、情绪波动时可以回归的指南针。

把这些写下来迫使我保持清晰。如果我无法清楚地说明为什么持有某样东西,或者为什么遵循某条规则,那我可能还不够理解它。这份手册既是自律的工具,也是与他人分享思考的方式。

三、文化与心态

所有者心态

每一个行动都始于这个问题:"一个理性的、长期的企业所有者会怎么做?" 我的默认行动通常是不行动,直到合适的机会出现。

谦逊与持续学习

我坦然承认自己知识的局限性。我终生保持学习。

理性

基于证据而非情绪做决定。

耐心

时间是优秀企业的朋友。

诚信与本分

做对的事情,把事情做对。

四、正确的资本主义

我相信让所有参与者受益的资本主义。我偏好的投资是这样的企业:

  • 创造真正的价值
  • 持久且必需
  • 善待员工和客户
  • 能够长期内部复利

五、投资原则

只在能力圈内投资

投资最大的风险是不知道自己在做什么。

购买高质量企业

持久的护城河、定价权、卓越的管理、高资本回报率。

坚持安全边际

只在价格明显低于保守内在价值时买入。

忽略短期市场行为

市场波动。企业复利。我专注于后者。

长期持有,动态评估

"长期持有"是买入时的意向与心态,而非僵化的教条。在做出投资决策的那一刻,我确实基于长期持有的预期行动;但在整个持有过程中,我必须持续评估机会成本。持有的理由必须经得起反复审视。

六、我的"不做清单"

  • 我不投机。
  • 我不追逐趋势。
  • 我不使用杠杆。
  • 我不进行短期交易。
  • 我不过度分散。
  • 我不在能力圈外投资。
  • 我不为回报而妥协诚信。
