Our
Partnership
Principles

We will communicate with you regularly and in
a straightforward manner. We will not sugarcoat
or exaggerate the truth. We will never promise
what we cannot deliver.

We will continue to keep a substantial percentage
of our net worth invested along your side, as
have many of our family members and friends.
Rest assured that our interests are aligned with
yours.

We will strive to manage your capital to maximize
long-term results and will gladly accept
“bumpier” short-term results to achieve them.

We will look at risk before return and will ignore
high-risk opportunities regardless of potential
payoffs.

      Our Strategy
      We invest globally in great businesses that have durable economic moats, favorable
      customer economics, consistent financial results, high and stable returns on capital,
      strong cash flow generation, and attractive capital redeployment opportunities.

      We do that by buying securities of great companies with able and shareholder-oriented
      managements, a conservative capital structure, and a strong track record of rational
      capital allocation.

      We pay reasonable prices for these securities, giving us a margin of safety on our
      investment, and we place significant amounts of our capital into such rare opportunities
      and continue to own such companies as long as these conditions are satisfied.

      We are patient and disciplined. We don’t view ourselves as investing in little pieces of
      paper that trade in markets. Behind every stock there is a real business and we, the
      shareholders, collectively own that business. This mental framework drives our decision-
      making process. Many in the investment field call us value investors, we call ourselves
      businesspeople.

      Most of the time, the successful execution of our strategy requires us to act against the
      crowd. Or, in the words of Warren Buffett: “Be fearful when others are greedy. Be greedy
      when others are fearful.” Our edge over other market participants is in having a much
      longer investment horizon, better temperament, and the investment discipline to stay the
      course, especially in down and volatile markets.

     General       I write to you today from our office in Clerkenwell on my first day back after working from

     Commentary    home for the past four months. And what a four months it has been!

                   It was one of the most, if not the most, intense and exhausting period of my professional
                   career both intellectually and emotionally. I’m sure many of you feel the same.

                   While the Great Financial Crisis of 2008-2009 was also emotionally draining because
                   it kept dragging on and on without an end in sight, I think an important difference
                   this time around is the amount of information we are regularly bombarded with on our
                   smartphones. The never-ending alerts and notifications make it difficult to disconnect.
                   They make it very hard to see the forest for the trees.

                   Restaurant kitchens are one of the most intense work environments. I experienced that
                   first-hand many years ago when I managed a restaurant company in Saudi Arabia. One
                   of the things you learn when you work in a busy restaurant kitchen is how to tune out
                   the noise all around you and focus on the task at hand. Among all the yelling, machine
                   noises, and visual distractions, there are clear “signals” that you need to listen for that
                   are key to performing the job at whichever kitchen station you happen to be at. Investing
                   is, in many ways, similar. The past few months have been an extreme example of that.

                   Most of what we read, see, and hear every day as investors is pure noise that adds no
                   value to what we do. So, while the challenge for previous generations of investors may
                   have been finding enough information, the challenge for our generation is controlling
11

the fire hose of information that we get hit with every moment of every day. It is filtering
out the signal from the noise.

In a crisis, horizons shrink to an extremely short period for many people. Investors,
policymakers, and individuals ignore the future almost completely and fixate on the
here and now. Survival becomes an overwhelming concern.

But while survival is no doubt important — there’s no future without it — the future still
matters a lot when making most decisions. And it is in these shrinking-horizon market
environments that attractive long-term investment opportunities are born.

Because we’ve already done our homework and have identified many great businesses
that we want to own, all we had to do in the midst of the panic in March and April was
to ask ourselves the only two remaining questions that matter: 1) will this company
survive until the crisis is over? and 2) will it be worth a lot more in five years than it’s
selling for right now? If the answer to both is yes, then our job is to tune out the noise,
focus on the long run, and take advantage of these opportunities. The March-April
period was our most active period since inception.

Now, let us turn to the elephant in the room; the US stock market recovery! The S&P
500 is now within 5 or 6% of its record high in February, right before this pandemic
started spreading around the world. Nasdaq is at a record high, around 5 or 6% above
it’s February highs. With COVID-19 cases still rising in many US states, unemployment
near record highs, and the economy starting to recover but still well below where it was
in February, one has to wonder why is it that the US market has fully recovered? Why is
the stock market so disconnected from what’s happening in the real economy?

I’ve been thinking about this question a lot over the past few weeks and I have a few
ideas that could help explain things. Please do take them with a grain of salt as talking
about the overall market is not my core competency. I usually shy away from these
discussions, but many of you have been individually asking me about my opinion over
the past few weeks and I think it’s only fair that I share my thoughts on the matter with
all of you.

  1.   Let me start by saying that the stock market never has and really shouldn’t
       represent the current economy. Stocks represent “claims” on companies’ future
       earnings (more technically, free cash flows) from now until Judgement Day. What
       happens in any one quarter or year doesn’t matter that much in calculating the
       total value of these claims. When a stock goes down on bad news it’s because
       investors expect that the bad news would cause a permanent reduction in future
       cash flows. Therefore, one potential explanation for the market’s current levels
       is the outlook for the earnings power of US Corporations over the next 20 or 30
       years hasn’t changed by much since February.

  2.   Another factor to consider is the general level of interest rates. If you lend your
12

            money for ten years to the US government today, you will get paid a fixed 0.65%
            per annum in interest. If you buy Microsoft shares on the other hand, Microsoft
            will pay you 1% in dividends this year and this dividend will probably grow over
            time. Back in February lending money to the US government earned you double
            the current interest rate so the attractiveness of Microsoft’s 1% dividend relative
            to lending money to the government has changed substantially. This means that
            holding everything else equal, the same stock is worth more today than it was
            in February. In fact, it might still be worth more even if the company’s outlook for
            the next 20-30 years has deteriorated. You can see this effect very clearly in the
            performance of stable dividend paying companies such as consumer staples.

       3.   The third factor to consider is that a big chunk of the S&P 500’s recovery has been
            driven by the performance of a handful of companies. The top five companies
            (Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Facebook and Alphabet) now constitute 22% of the
            index and have driven an even higher percentage of the index’s performance.
            The index’s performance does not reflect the performance of the average stock
            or even most stocks. If we look at the S&P 500 equal-weighted index (which still
            includes those 5 technology names, just without the concentration in weight), we
            find that it’s sitting 14% below its February highs. You see a similar picture if you
            look at other US indices such as the Russell 2000, which is down 15%. For the
            same reason, European indices which don’t have heavy technology weights are
            significantly below their highs with the MSCI Europe down 16% and the FTSE
            100 down 20%.

       4.   The question then becomes, are those technology names extremely expensive?
            Are we seeing a new tech bubble? In principle, I’m far more inclined to accept
            that a handful of stocks are mispriced than accept that all or most stocks are.
            The market is right on most things, most of the time. But there are also reasons
            to believe that the market could be right about pricing those tech stocks as well.
            They have proven to be resilient, they continue to grow when most companies
            struggle, and they produce prodigious amounts of cash flows that are now being
            discounted at much lower rates, as I’ve mentioned in #2 above. So, while I think
            the market is likely mispricing these technology names, I’m willing to accept that
            there’s a good chance that I’m wrong. Time will tell.

       5.   Governments around the world have provided and continue to provide
            unprecedented amounts of fiscal stimulus. Unlike monetary stimulus which I think
            is not always effective, fiscal spending is going directly into the real economy
            and helping offset some of the decline in demand caused by the pandemic. This
            should be factored in by investors because it will help speed-up the recovery,
            and we’re already starting to see some of evidence of that.

     You will notice that I failed to mention the effects of “liquidity” coming from central
     banks in the above discussion. That’s because I think counting it as another factor
     would be redundant. Fundamentally, I think monetary stimulus would have its most
13

                pronounced effect in the factors mentioned in #2 and #4 above.

                In summary, I think most stocks are currently trading near their fair value. Some might
                be overpriced and in certain cases egregiously so. A tiny minority, mostly outside the
                US, still present attractive buying opportunities.

                During the quarter, we increased our investment in homebuilders, adding to our

Our Portfolio   positions in Toll Brothers, Redrow, Vistry, and initiated a new position in UK homebuilder
                Taylor Wimpey. We also increased our investment in SAP and Booking Holdings.

                We trimmed our investments in Alphabet, LabCorp and Visa and we fully exited our
                investments in Dunelm and Microsoft. All for valuation reasons.

                I would like to welcome the newest member of our team, Stefan Dawidowski, who joined

The Fund and    us as Chief Operating Officer on June 1st. Stefan has extensive operations experience,

the Company     having worked in investment banks and the alternative asset management industry
                for the past twenty years. He joins Mayar Capital from ALMA Capital Management
                Luxembourg where he set up the Investment Management function and served as a
                CSSF regulated Conducting Officer. Prior to this, for nine years Stefan was Head of
                Operations and Trade Flow Technology for Eikoh Research Investment Management,
                an FCA-regulated Japanese equity hedge fund. He has also worked for Altima Partners
                LLP, Deutsche Bank in London and Singapore, and for BNP Paribas in London.

                I would also like to welcome several new partners that have invested in this quarter. All
                have been recommended to us by existing partners who remain our preferred way of
                finding like-minded investors. We remain open to new investors who share our ethical
                values and investment philosophy.

                We ended the quarter with $114.4m in Assets Under Management (AUM) at Mayar
                Capital, a new record.

                As always, I remain available if you have any questions or thoughts.

                Best regards,
