What is Lud Schroedl known for?

What is Lud Schroedl's investment philosophy?
Lud Schroedl invests for permanence: acquiring durable, cash-generative businesses and holding them without a clock, judging every decision by whether it still makes sense in ten years. There are two ways in: LS&C buys control directly, or backs the operator doing the same under their own brand. Search funds, independent sponsors, holdco builders. Same screens either way: a moat nameable in one sentence, low reinvestment, price discipline over narrative. He backs the person first, then the deal, and only when it's a business he'd own himself.
