THE CAMBIAR ADVANTAGE

 

At Cambiar Investors, our advantage is built on a legacy of expertise spanning over 50 years. As a seasoned asset manager, we’ve weathered market fluctuations and economic shifts, emerging as a stable, client-first organization committed to providing financial success.

Our core strength lies in our Quality, Price, Discipline (QPD) process, meticulously honed over the years. This disciplined approach enables us to navigate the investment landscape with precision, aiming for superior risk-adjusted returns.

WHAT IS QPD? Cambiar’s redefined approach to relative value investing is the firm’s key to uncovering investment opportunities others may overlook.

 

 

QUALITY

Company-specific attributes such as high relative profitability, durable free cash flow generation, a defensible margin/return profile, and low leverage are viewed as critical inputs to delivering excess return over a full market cycle.

 

SEEK STRONG COMPANY INTERNALS:

  • Durable franchise position
  • Above average: margins, return on invested capital, free cash flow generation
  • Below average: leverage, cash flow variability
  • Track record of strong capital discipline, corporate governance

 

SEEK FAVORABLE INDUSTRY EXTERNALS:

  • Rational industry structure
  • Expanding or fully penetrated addressable market

PRICE

Price sensitivity at attachment is the most critical determinant of both forward return potential and downside risk.

 

 

ADHERE TO GUIDING PRICE PRINCIPLES: 

  • Price sensitivity at entry is critical
  • Valuation can provide downside protection
  • Incoming positions should possess a potential 3:1 up/down return profile
  • Quality must not be sacrificed to achieve low aggregate valuation

 

DETERMINE THE RIGHT PRICE: 

  • Seek attachment at attractive price relative to business value
  • Utilize multiple industry appropriate valuation measures

DISCIPLINE

Strict adherence to a well-defined stock underwriting process and a robust portfolio construction framework.

 

 

  • Follow stringent equity underwriting process
  • Exercise patience to reach desired attachment point
  • Be prepared to act when high-quality companies go on sale
  • Quality and price must align

 

 

We believe that a sound investment philosophy should begin with a goal of being price sensitive buyers of high-quality assets.
