Compounders, Value Today, and Value Tomorrow with Balkar Sivia, Founder & Portfolio Manager at White Falcon Capital Management
Manage episode 508500095 series 2501033
My guest on the show today is Balkar Sivia, Founder & Portfolio Manager at White Falcon Capital Management. In this episode, Balkar shares his unique path from engineering to investing, and why he built White Falcon around an unconstrained, opportunistic philosophy — one that rejects traditional style boxes like “growth” or “value.”
We dive into White Falcon’s three “engines” — Compounders, Value Today, and Value Tomorrow — and how, for Balkar, this structure should result in part of the portfolio always working. Balkar walks through case studies, explaining how he looks for quality businesses facing temporary challenges, and how narrative shifts and multiple expansion drive returns over a three-year horizon.
We also discuss the lessons he’s learned in managing value traps, how he’s thinking about AI as an investor, and the importance of evolving your process over time. At the heart of it all is a focus on quality management, incentives, and high-conviction positions in a concentrated 20-stock North American portfolio.
