Investment Philosophy

Patient Research in Markets Most Investors Avoid

Alberto focuses on overlooked sectors where sentiment, capital flows, and commodity cycles can create large gaps between price and underlying value.
White compass icon centered on a blue square with rounded corners gradient background.

Commodity-Cycle Inflections

AAG Research studies markets where years of neglect, underinvestment, or poor sentiment may create asymmetric opportunities.
Uranium, copper, gold, silver, PGMs, and shipping cycles
White diamond icon centered on an orange rounded square background.

Concentrated, Thesis-Led Thinking

The research does not try to cover everything. It focuses on a small number of situations where Alberto believes the market may be mispricing risk, timing, or long-term value.
Fewer ideas, deeper work, clearer tracking
White clock icon centered on a green gradient square background with rounded corners.

Patience Through Volatility

Deep-value theses can take years to play out. The process requires patience, drawdown tolerance, and the discipline to separate temporary volatility from a broken thesis.
