F&V Capital Management
Lawrence Van Duyne's F&V Capital Management runs an ultra-concentrated public-equity portfolio with multi-year holding periods.
F&V Capital Management
Founder and CIO Lawrence F. Van Duyne established F&V Capital Management, L.L.C. as a registered investment adviser based in New York. The firm is not a family office but an independent asset manager that has, at times, presented a public-company ownership profile more concentrated than many single-family portfolios. Its disclosed 13F filings historically reveal a strategy anchored by a dominant position in Apple Inc., which has on occasion represented over 90% of its reported long-equity book. Van Duyne's approach is defined by extreme concentration and extended hold periods. The firm's regulatory filings show a portfolio typically holding fewer than ten names, with multi-year position duration as the norm rather than the exception. Beyond Apple, disclosed positions have included other large-cap technology and consumer franchises such as Microsoft, Alphabet, and Visa. The firm does not engage in venture capital, private equity funds, or real assets — its deployment universe is overwhelmingly the liquid, large-cap US equity market. The operational scale of F&V Capital Management remains deliberately compact and opaque. The firm has not publicized a specific AUM figure, and its 13F filings — which report only long US equity positions and omit international, short, or fixed-income holdings — provide only a partial view of total capital managed. No additional office locations, philanthropic entities, or adjacent investment vehicles have been disclosed in the public record. F&V Capital Management's structural differentiator lies in its governance: it is a founder-led, likely wholly owned vehicle with no external capital cycle pressure. With no institutional LPs demanding diversification or quarterly liquidity, Van Duyne retains the freedom that endowment and family-office CIOs enjoy — the capacity to hold a single stock through multiple cycles — but within the regulatory wrapper of a 1940 Act-registered adviser. This hybrid profile, combining family-office-like patience with a public-filing footprint, remains rare among US equity managers.

Frequently asked questions
Who makes investment decisions at F&V Capital Management?
Lawrence F. Van Duyne serves as the firm's Founder and Chief Investment Officer. His role as the sole portfolio manager is reflected in the fund's concentrated and conviction-weighted approach. There is no public record of a broader investment committee or co-portfolio manager.
What kind of investment strategy does F&V Capital Management run?
The firm runs a highly concentrated, long-only equity strategy focused on US large-cap companies. Regulatory filings historically show a portfolio of fewer than ten holdings, with a single position — most notably Apple Inc. — often dominating the reported asset base. Turnover is extremely low, indicating a buy-and-hold philosophy.
Does F&V Capital Management invest in private companies or venture capital?
No. The firm's public filings exclusively show long positions in publicly traded US equities. There is no record of private company investments, venture capital allocations, real estate, or private credit activity.
How much capital does F&V Capital Management oversee?
The firm has not publicly disclosed its total AUM. Its 13F filings — which report only long US equity holdings and exclude cash, international stocks, short positions, and fixed income — capture only a subset of its total managed capital. An aggregate AUM figure has not been published.
How does F&V Capital Management differentiate itself from other asset managers?
The firm's core structural distinction is its founder-operated independence and its willingness to concentrate more than 90% of its reported equity book in a single security for extended periods. This posture mirrors the governance and patience of a single-family office rather than a typical asset manager managing institutional capital.
What is the firm's relationship with institutional clients?
The nature of F&V Capital Management's client base has not been publicly profiled. The firm's concentrated, high-conviction approach and lack of public marketing suggest that it may manage capital for a small number of separate accounts or a single proprietary pool rather than a broad institutional base.
