Metropolis Capital Limited is a London based Investment Management Firm. The Firm was initially established to manage the proprietary private capital of the founders in a long-only equity investment strategy. Following FSA authorisation in January 2011, Metropolis has launched a new UK Retail Value Fund, the SF Metropolis Valuefund.
The Investment Managers are entrepreneurs, Simon Denison-Smith and Jonathan Mills. Jonathan and Simon met in 1990, whilst working as strategy consultants with Bain & Company. After Bain, they separately went on to launch a software and a media business. The investment methodology of the firm draws extensively from their combined 32 years of experience building and running successful businesses, in particular from the careful and successful allocation of investor capital into over 20 private company buy-outs.
For each investment decision, we apply a disciplined and rigorous methodology which is firmly rooted in the teachings of Benjamin Graham and Warren Buffett.
We look for solid businesses, with a strong franchise, in which we can invest with a significant margin of safety. We are “investors” not “speculators”, seeking a return from long-term appreciation of value and dividends. We like companies led by smart managers, who have demonstrated high integrity and a disciplined approach to investing shareholder capital.
