Candestra is a value-oriented investment research project founded and led by Dimitrios Paolo. We follow a value-oriented philosophy, seeking complexity that is mispriced or misunderstood. Where conviction is high and inefficiency is clear, we size significantly. Because true opportunities are rare, we operate with a long-term time horizon and a willingness to remain inactive when nothing meets our standards.
Note: At this stage Candestra exists primarily as a body of independent research, personal capital allocation and written publications. It is not an authorised investment fund and does not accept external capital.
