“We do not chase trends - we invest in excellence”
“The first rule of compounding: Never interrupt it unnecessarily.” Charlie T. Munger
At Pitt Private Investment Co., we specialize in identifying and investing in established businesses with outstanding leadership, strong profitability, and proven longevity. As a boutique investment firm, we focus on industries that are easy to understand, have stood the test of time, and continue to thrive.
We are also actively seeking and investing in portfolio managers with a consistent track record—those who achieve success through discipline and emotional control, adhering to a well-defined investment strategy rather than reacting impulsively.
Pitt Private Investment Co. embraces an endowment culture, guided by principles, values, and practices that prioritize long-term financial goals over short-term fluctuations. Our approach is built on deep industry knowledge and strategic insight.
Investment approach
Investment Philosophy:
Think Like a Business Owner
We view every investment as a partial ownership in a real operating business. Following the philosophy of Warren Buffett, widely regarded as the greatest investor of all time, we focus on companies with enduring competitive advantages—businesses that are simple to understand, demonstrate consistent performance, and are led by ethical, competent management.
Build a Web of Deserved Trust
We believe in earning trust through consistent behavior, structuring our relationships to be mutually beneficial, and maintaining a reputation that we truly deserve. Trust isn’t assumed—it’s built over time through integrity and performance.
Invest with a Long-Term Lens and Margin of Safety
We approach every investment with a margin of safety and a long-term mindset. In a competitive free market, most advantages eventually erode. However, there are a select number of businesses that can sustain superior returns and compound capital at above-average rates for extended periods. These exceptional companies are the ones we strive to understand—and own when the opportunity presents itself.
That’s how we aim to compound intrinsic value at a rate that exceeds the average over time.
