West Butte Investments

Long-term, value-oriented investing on behalf of families and like-minded investors.

 

Investment objective

A Margin of Safety.

West Butte Investments is an investment holding company structured as a closed-end fund, principally engaged in acquiring ownership interests in a concentrated portfolio of public and private businesses.

Our strategy is centered on minimizing the risk of permanent capital impairment first, with long-term appreciation as the consequence of asymmetric opportunity selection. Our disciplined underwriting approach seeks opportunities with a large margin of safety, where we believe market prices and sentiment have fallen substantially below underlying value.
