Diversification is not buying more of the same.
A portfolio can hold many companies and remain concentrated in one asset class, one currency and one form of liquidity.

Who he is
An operator who invests, not an investor with opinions.
Mauro Povía ran more than ten companies before buying his first building. Since 2014 he has bought below market, transformed with an in-house contractor and sold along Spain's Mediterranean arc, first with his own money and today with the capital of those who trust the same method. Founder of ANRO Capital, Asset1 Invest and Axial Builders.

Three ideas for thinking about wealth.
Notes on risk, operations and decisions that retain their value when the cycle changes.
Deep risk rarely fits in a cell.
Debt that forces a sale, construction without margin and costs without an owner matter more than a decimal in a projected return.
The capacity to suffer protects value.
Accepting discomfort today, whether liquidity, margin or an unpopular decision, can prevent value destruction tomorrow.
“I treat my investors’ money as if it were my own. That is why I invest first and get paid last.”
- A business that does not control its costs is not a business.
- Relying on one source of income is not stability.
- Construction is never outsourced.
Track record
Decisions, not a chronology.
Each new company was built to solve a limit discovered while operating the one before it.
Build the system
After leading more than ten companies, he stopped working inside each business and began working on the system that made them run.
10+ companies ledRisk his own capital
The first residential projects on the Mediterranean arc used his own money: buy below market, transform and sell before managing anyone else's capital.
