Sharks Don’t Chase Every Fish. Investors Shouldn’t Either
Sharks don’t chase every fish. Investors shouldn’t either.
Sharks have survived 400 million years for a simple reason: they don’t waste motion.
They read signals, conserve energy, and strike only when conditions truly align.
Great investors operate the same way.
They don’t pursue every idea. They allocate with discipline — while others dilute returns by spreading capital too thin.
Bain’s research shows that concentrated funds outperform broad portfolios by 300–500 bps over the long term.
The difference isn’t access or luck — it’s the discipline to focus where edge is real.
This is what disciplined, concentrated investing looks like:
→ Acting on clear signals, not louder noise
→ Waiting with patience, not chasing out of panic
→ Compounding through conviction, not constant portfolio churn
At Eagle Talon, we invest through a leadership lens:
→ Is company strategy built around focus — or deworsification? [note: yes deworsification is the word i intended]
→ Do CEOs allocate capital where they truly have edge — or just where they have reach?
→ Is discipline embedded in their system — or dependent on mood and market narratives?
Because enduring returns rarely come from speed.
They come from the precision of when — and where — you strike.
