03 / Investment Management

Your assets. Our strategy.

A concentrated, actively managed public-equity strategy implemented through separately managed accounts, holding 6–12 companies with investment horizons of 3–36 months.

The Mandate

Concentrated by design. Active by necessity.

We build focused portfolios around our highest-conviction ideas and actively manage positions as fundamentals, catalysts and valuation evolve.

6–12 CompaniesPortfolios are intentionally concentrated rather than broadly diversified across dozens of positions.
3–36 MonthsInvestment horizons are generally measured in months and years, with catalysts and fundamental change defining the path to value realization.
Active ManagementPositions may be initiated, resized, added to or exited as the thesis, risk/reward and market expectations change.
SMA StructureClients retain direct ownership of the underlying securities in their own custodial accounts.
