Mission Statement

Invest Like An Owner (ILAO) is my simulated privately held investment holding company that acquires minority equity interests in businesses across a broad range of industries, including retail, grocery, fast food, real estate, transportation, communications, insurance, technology, healthcare, fashion, energy, agriculture, and financial services.

"Confidence, Profits, and Growth."  ILAO's investment strategy is grounded in rigorous valuation discipline.  Strategic priorities include identifying well-managed companies with strong fundamentals and long-term potential, and applying a selective approach to capital allocation. As a passive investor, ILAO does not participate in the operations or management of the businesses held. Rather, the diversified portfolio is closely monitored and built to preserve capital, capture long-term growth, and remain resilient across market cycles.
