In the dramatic theatre of business, relentless motion and constant change make an exhilarating narrative. At SaltLight, we approach investing as a serene nature documentary filled with patience and thoughtful observation. In our view, frequent portfolio reshuffling is not a badge of honour, but rather restlessness. Each portfolio adjustment is a step into murky water, exchanging the known for the unknown, and as such, we set a high threshold for action.
Instead of melodies and rhythms, our composition unfolds on a different stage. We see ourselves as treasure hunters, sifting through a vast terrain, discovering hidden opportunities, and appraising their potential for reward. Over time, as we collect these coarse rocks, we observe, adjust, and refine our approach

In this second completed year of our flagship fund, the purpose of these letters is to inform our co-investors about what we are trying to achieve and how are we trying to do it.
We set our investment process to what the world could look like in 2028. We are more concerned with the ‘two birds in the bush’ so to speak. And then extending the adage further: what is the price implying to catch these plump birds.
We feel the need to say: ‘Cheer Up!’ – this moment too shall pass. In the face of uncertainties, persistently negative headlines, and downbeat sentiment, it is always more helpful to lengthen perspective when others are shortening theirs.
For us, these turbulent periods are somewhat cathartic for our investment process. Investing mistakes are usually made in the ‘good times’ when the price one pays can diminish the returns on even the most wonderful businesses because future price expectations are based on a hopeful set of outcomes rather than probabilistic realism.
