Quarterly shareholder letter for Liberty Park Capital Management.
High-conviction value and fundamental strategy for Liberty Park Capital Management.
Long-term value creation focused on fundamental earnings power.
As of Aug 6, 2026
Charles P. Murphy, CFA, founded Liberty Park Capital Management and serves as the primary portfolio manager with over 20 years of specialized experience in complex multi-industry cyclical investments. He is a graduate of Texas A&M University - Mays Business School and maintains an active presence in the investment community through The Economic Club of Texas and social media engagement. Kurt A. Probe, CFA, serves as Partner, Co-Portfolio Manager, and Director of Research, bringing additional expertise to the investment process. Anthony Politi joined as COO and Director of Business Development in June 2018, overseeing operational aspects. The firm employs three individuals with a lean structure focused on generating alpha through specialized knowledge. Murphy's deep commitment is evidenced by having nearly all of his personal wealth invested in the firm's funds. The team's concentrated expertise in overlooked, complex companies provides a sustainable competitive advantage in identifying undervalued opportunities that institutional investors systematically avoid due to categorization difficulties.
Liberty Park Capital Management's investment approach centers on identifying outcomes that differ materially from consensus expectations by focusing on companies that institutional investors systematically avoid. The firm targets businesses characterized by complex multi-industry operations, cyclical exposure, and organizational structures that resist simple categorization. Within this overlooked universe, they have identified hundreds of businesses that dominate specialized niches, generating substantial free cash flow and presenting compelling consolidation opportunities. The firm emphasizes identifying 'hidden compounders' - smaller businesses with strong free cash flow, pricing power, and consolidation potential. Their sustainable edge comes from over 20 years of specialized expertise in this specific investment universe. The portfolio manager's deep knowledge allows them to capture value where sophisticated institutional investors cannot. Risk management incorporates position limits, loss tolerances, and careful avoidance of concentrated style factor exposures. Nearly all of the Portfolio Manager's wealth is invested in the firm's funds, ensuring strong alignment with investor interests.
Lead Portfolio Manager
Moderate Conviction Bullish
Market Conviction
The fund demonstrates high conviction through concentrated positioning in 8 named holdings with detailed, specific commentary on each position including performance attribution and forward thesis. The manager uses decisive language about maintaining positions through volatility (expecting Limbach to rebound, continuing to view Atlas's position as differentiated) and provides specific evidence of conviction such as position sizing that drove meaningful performance impact. The letter names specific companies, discusses their business models, and explains why the manager expects value realization. However, the portfolio appears to hold 8+ positions rather than extreme concentration, and some hedging language exists around timing of catalysts, preventing a score above 0.80.
Growth Outlook
Market outlook remains high conviction: Liberty Park declined 5.38% in Q1 as market crowding from AI-powered flows overwhelmed fundamental analysis. The fund maintains bearish AI infrastructure shorts despite underperfor...
Risk Appetite
Risk appetite posture is high conviction: Liberty Park declined 5.38% in Q1 as market crowding from AI-powered flows overwhelmed fundamental analysis. The fund maintains bearish AI infrastructure shorts despite underperfor...
Capital Deployment
The manager states that net long exposure remains at the high end of the typical range, indicating elevated deployment relative to normal positioning. The letter describes adding to positions during the quarter (SECURE Waste was trimmed and added based on timing) and maintaining concentrated positions in named holdings. However, there is no explicit discussion of cash levels declining or aggressive new capital deployment. The positioning appears to be maintaining high exposure rather than significantly increasing it from already-elevated levels. The combination of high sustained exposure with selective adds but no dramatic cash reduction justifies a moderately positive deployment score.
Forward Guidance
Forward guidance signal: Liberty Park declined 5.38% in Q1 as market crowding from AI-powered flows overwhelmed fundamental analysis. The fund maintains bearish AI infrastructure shorts despite underperfor...
Language Signal
The letter contains a balanced mix of directional language. Bullish terms include compelling valuations, mispricing, high-conviction positions, overlooked opportunities, and secular tailwind. Bearish language includes bubble (used multiple times), speculative fervor, write-downs, downward earnings revisions, and warnings about AI equity risks. The manager uses strong cautionary language about AI representing a potential bubble while simultaneously expressing confidence in opportunities outside that theme. The net balance leans slightly positive given the emphasis on attractive valuations and opportunities, but the prominent bubble warnings prevent a higher score.
Perceived Risk
Perceived risk level is evaluated as moderate conviction. Liberty Park declined 5.38% in Q1 as market crowding from AI-powered flows overwhelmed fundamental analysis. The fund maintains bearish AI infrastructure shorts despite underperfor...
Opportunity Density
The manager explicitly states that valuations of businesses operating outside the AI theme are as compelling as they have seen in some time. The letter describes concentrating capital in overlooked corners of the market where mispricing persists, suggesting multiple attractive opportunities. The fund holds 8 named positions with detailed positive commentary on most, and the manager notes that investors selling high-quality compounders to fund AI investments is creating opportunities. The characterization of the opportunity set as compelling and the active deployment into multiple specific names indicates a rich opportunity environment, justifying a high score.
Time Horizon
The manager demonstrates a multi-year investment horizon through several indicators: expecting Limbach shares to rebound as issues resolve (implying patience through near-term volatility), continuing to hold Atlas Energy despite current weakness while waiting for completion activity to improve, and noting that students from lost Stride contracts often migrate to other programs over time. The focus on long-term earnings power versus technical factors and the willingness to hold through quarterly volatility suggests a 2-4 year thesis horizon. However, the letter also discusses quarterly earnings beats and near-term catalysts like the Iran ceasefire, indicating some catalyst dependency within a 12-24 month window. This combination of multi-year patience with attention to nearer-term milestones justifies a score in the upper-moderate range.
