The Alchemist Fund
Our disciplined focus strategy allows us to be highly selective. To make it into The Alchemist Fund, an investment must go through rigorous and thorough analysis.
We invest only in our best ideas. When investments fail to meet our hurdles, we wait until we discover ideas that do.
We look at business through a longer lens than our peers, allowing the markets to serve us, rather than succumbing to the short-term, speculative mindset many professionals succumb to.
Our Perspective & Choice Of Fee Structure
The Alchemist Fund view stocks for what they are: passive ownership of a business. We treat each investment in common stock as if we were purchasing the entire business. We believe our location in Vermont helps us cultivate an independent mindset and avoid the herd mentality common in the financial centers.
The Alchemist Fund is able to offer qualified investors a choice of fee structures that best align the interests of the client with The Alchemist Fund’s long-term orientation and investment objectives.
We can invest across asset classes, geographies, and in businesses large and small, many of which fall beneath Wall Street’s radar.
Low Frictional Costs
The Alchemist Fund pays for every trade in your account. When we make a decision to buy or sell a security, our Client does not incur any cost. If every fund paid for its trades, we suspect there would be a lot less trading and a lot more patience.
The Alchemist Fund
Focused investing. Patient capital.
We believe a focused portfolio composed of high quality businesses purchased at attractive prices will generate superior returns with less risk than a portfolio composed of many securities chosen with less care.
Our client’s funds are managed in separate accounts and enjoy unrestricted transparency and accessibility.
Advantages Over Other Funds
Your Manager Is Invested Alongside You
If every manager was required to place all or a majority of their own wealth in the very funds they manage, we suspect performance wouldn’t suffer for it.
The principal and manager of The Alchemist Fund invests his family’s capital alongside yours. We believe there is no better place to invest than The Alchemist Fund.
