Correa Alonso Asset Management LLC (CAAM) is an independent, founder-led investment manager based in Seattle, Washington. It manages Correa Public Investments LLC (CPI), a concentrated, long-only U.S. public equities fund that holds a maximum of 20 positions with a five-to-ten-year holding horizon. CPI is a Delaware private fund offered under SEC Regulation D, Rule 506(c) exclusively to verified accredited investors. The firm was founded by Christopher Correa, who serves as Managing Partner and personally runs research, portfolio construction, and investor communications.
CAAM is the manager and CPI is the fund. Correa Alonso Asset Management LLC is a Delaware limited liability company under the sole control and direction of Christopher Correa, Managing Partner. It serves as manager of Correa Public Investments LLC, a Delaware limited liability company organized and operated as a manager-managed private investment fund. Both entities maintain their principal place of business in the State of Washington. CAAM is not affiliated with any other investment firm, adviser, bank, or financial professional bearing the Correa or Alonso names.
Correa Public Investments buys businesses at prices that make no rational sense relative to intrinsic value, and then holds them for years. The investable universe is U.S. public equities, the deepest and most transparent capital market in the world. The book is long only and capped at 20 positions, organized in three tiers: growth leaders, mid-risk compounders, and defensive anchors.
Every candidate is valued three ways, by Gordon Growth, EBITDA exit, and revenue exit, and each method is run across bear, base, and bull cases. The firm interrogates the dispersion between those outputs rather than averaging them, because the spread between methods is itself information about how much of the value depends on assumptions that could fail. Business quality is graded separately through a proprietary multi-module scoring system covering the durability of the moat, capital allocation, unit economics and cash conversion, balance sheet resilience, and management. The quality composite and a margin-of-safety rank together produce a confidence score that governs eligibility and position sizing. The portfolio is formally reconstituted annually against the scoring system; a name that no longer clears the quality floors is removed.
Positions are sized by conviction. Winners are allowed to compound under a hard per-position ceiling; the book is not rebalanced back to target weights, and a holding is trimmed only when it outgrows its limit.
A holding is sold on structural deterioration of the business, never on noise. A drawdown is a signal to re-underwrite the thesis, not to exit. A soft quarter, a capital-expenditure cycle, or a single down year does not sell a name; a broken thesis does, and then the position is cut without hesitation.
CAAM backs operators who have demonstrated they can run a business under adverse conditions. Incentive alignment, capital allocation record, and conduct through prior downturns are weighted heavily; short-term insider selling is treated as noise unless something in the business is broken.

Christopher Correa founded Correa Alonso Asset Management and Correa Public Investments and serves as Managing Partner of both. He studied economics at the University of Washington. He runs the research process, makes every portfolio construction decision, and writes all investor communications himself, and he built the firm's research, valuation, and investor-reporting infrastructure in-house rather than licensing it.
His operating conviction is that durable wealth is built through patient ownership of resilient businesses purchased at rational prices, that drawdowns are an occasion to re-underwrite rather than to sell, and that when a thesis is broken the position is cut cleanly, without sentiment.
