What it does
Use when evaluating Seth Klarman-style deep value and distressed opportunities: extreme margin of safety, forced sellers, liquidity discounts, complexity, downside protection, and patience.
Klarman Deep Value
Use this skill to apply Seth Klarman-style deep value: buy assets at large discounts to conservative value when complexity, illiquidity, distress, or forced selling creates a margin of safety.
When To Use
- Deep value and distressed analysis
- Liquidation value, asset value, or hidden value review
- Forced-seller and illiquidity discount opportunities
- Downside-first portfolio review
Trigger phrases include Klarman, Baupost, margin of safety, deep value, distressed, liquidation value, and forced seller.
Process
- Estimate conservative asset value and liquidation value.
- Identify why the asset is mispriced: distress, complexity, illiquidity, neglect, forced selling.
- Demand a large margin of safety.
- Check balance sheet, legal structure, seniority, and liquidity.
- Define catalyst and patience horizon.
