About Palmerston Group Advisors, LLC

Palmerston Group Advisors, a firm best known for its Margin of Safety discipline, built its strategy only after carefully studying the best in the business. Consider: 1. Few fund managers have genuinely market-beating records of ten or more years. 2. Most of this elite group uses a version of Margin of Safety, the skill of buying assets when "on sale" at a deep discount to their true value. Most excel in bear markets. 3. Few advisors strategically focus on these top managers or their investment ideas when creating client portfolios. Nor do many independent firms focus on these managers when offering allocation advice. In contrast, Palmerston sees these top managers as a huge asset for our clients. We start with what works best, and thus use Margin of Safety for all clients. For client portfolios, we use the ideas and often the (no-load) funds of managers with proven, profitable records.

Fred Stupart founded Eaglestone Capital in 2012 following a 20 year career working in the capital markets as a lawyer, private equity investor and a banker. Most recently he worked at Morgan Stanley in New York during the tumultuous 2009 - 2012 period which saw violent price movements in U.S. securities in response to a debt crisis in Europe, dysfunction in Washington and a downgrade of U.S. sovereign credit. While extreme, this environment was yet another example of the capital markets taking a wise idea and turning it into a foolish one through endless replication. Eaglestone Capital was founded to give investors the opportunity to invest alongside a manager seeking reasonable returns from value priced U.S. securities with experience across the spectrum of debt and equity. Fred has an MBA from The Wharton School, a law degree from Osgoode Hall Law School in Toronto and a BA(Hons) Economics from Queen's University at Kingston, Ontario. He has won numerous awards. At The Wharton School he was on the Director's List for academic achievement and won the Robert E. Linneman Memorial Fellowship. At Queen's University he graduated with the highest cumulative GPA in Economics, winning the Gold Medal.
