RCG buy companies when there is a significant difference between price and fundamental value.

Margin of Safety


Margin of Safety is a concept that helps investors   avoid overpaying for a stock and reduce the risk of   losing money. 


It is the difference between the intrinsic value of a company and its current market price, expressed as a percentage.


It does not indicate how much a stock can appreciate in the future, but how much margin of error there is in the valuation process.​​

It is a subjective and dynamic measure that depends on the quality of the analysis and the assumptions used.

Fundamental Value

- A company's history reflects its performance more reliably than its future projections, which tend to be overconfident.
- To estimate the intrinsic value of a company Ramos Capital Group, we follow these steps:

Assessing the company's ability to generate profits across the business cycle.
 

Examining the historical annual reports and financial statements.
 

Identifying the competitive edges of the business, if any.
 

Analyzing and evaluating the non-financial ESG factors.
 

Applying valuation ratios to the operating income or cash flows that the company can produce across the business cycle. This is complemented by discounting cash flows and/or simulating the liquidation of the operations.
