Our Principals Have Been Investing Successfully Since 1987

The principals of Safari Asset Management LLC have been investing successfully since 1987 and have over 50 years of combined investment experience in a multitude of fields.

This includes equities, fixed income, real estate, commodities, forex, private equity and alternative asset classes. We are comfortable with both the US and global markets.

We have a strong value orientation and our investments ideally involve situations that present deep value, and the opportunity for capital gains over the long term.

We are comfortable with timeframes of 5-10 years and even longer. Contrarian positions that take significant time to develop into profitable positions are perfectly at home in our portfolio.

Patience is critical to our thinking, and not speculation.

Some thoughts from our principals:

“What goes up must come down, and what goes down does not have to go up again”

– R.S., late 2000

“Turning Distress into Opportunity…one property at a time”

– R.S., mid 2010

“By 2020 we will all have perfect hindsight and see the deep value that exists today”

– R.S., late 2010
