About the instructor:

Scott Miller is the founder of Greenhaven Road Capital, a boutique investment partnership that seeks out off the beaten path investments, modeled after the early Buffett partnerships. The firm is built on the belief that a focused investment manager can outperform an index by limiting fund capacity and by concentrating exposure on a few great ideas over a long time horizon. Experience as an owner-operator of businesses influence Greenhaven’s approach towards partially-owning companies rather than merely picking stocks. Prior to founding Greenhaven Road, Scott co-founded Acelero Learning, serving in a variety of roles over a decade from CFO to CTO, to Chief Strategy Officer to his current role of Board Member. Acelero Learning has grown from three people in an office “cube” in New York City to 1,500 employees serving 5,000 children across four states. Additionally, Scott managed a manufacturing business, with responsibility for hiring, firing, planning inventory, negotiating with suppliers and acquiring customers at a reasonable cost. Scott holds an MBA and a Masters in Education from Stanford University.

FlatexDegiro: Competitively Advantaged Low-Cost Online Broker

June 28, 2022 in Audio, Discover Great Ideas Podcast, Equities, Ideas, Member Podcasts, Transcripts, Wide Moat, Wide-Moat Investing Summit 2022, Wide-Moat Investing Summit 2022 Featured

John Woodman of Southeastern Asset Management presented his in-depth investment thesis on FlatexDegiro AG (Germany: FTK) at Wide-Moat Investing Summit 2022.

Thesis summary:

FlatexDegiro is a competitively advantaged lowest-cost online broker with owned in-house technology.

The business generates strong customer growth from underpenetrated European broking markets and offline legacy incumbents. It has a highly scalable model with strong incremental margins, generating impressive returns on customer acquisition costs. John sees opportunity for increased customer wallet penetration via joint ventures in adjacent products.

The shares recently traded at a P/E of 9x despite a high-growth, cash generative, competitively advantaged business. This represents a discount to the peer group of more than 50% and is well below John’s estimate of long-term intrinsic value.

Finally, FlatexDegiro represents a potentially attractive M&A asset for financial institutions or private equity buyers.

Arcosa: Recent Spinoff, Undergoing Positive Business Transformation

June 14, 2022 in Audio, Best Ideas 2022, Discover Great Ideas Podcast, Equities, Ideas, Member Podcasts

Sam Sheldon of Punch & Associates Investment Management presented his investment thesis on Arcosa (US: ACA) at Best Ideas 2022.

Thesis summary:

Arcosa, a recent spinoff, is an infrastructure products business undergoing a business transformation that should result in a simpler, less cyclical operation.

Management is using cash flows and their underlevered balance sheet to acquire aggregates businesses in growing markets across the Southern United States while positioning its more cyclical business segments for eventual sales.

The shares trade at multiples below peer averages, and Sam believes the business is well-positioned to benefit from increased infrastructure spending and a recovery in several segments that are near the bottom of their cycles.
