Our investment approach is built on:

  1. Focusing on how innovations drive evolutionary shifts and create multi-year growth opportunities
  2. Evaluating investments based on a stringent set of investment criteria
  3. Implementing a rigorous, team-based research process to analyze these secular drivers at both the company (bottom-up) and industry/ecosystem levels (meso-level)

Investment Criteria

Every investment is evaluated based on a disciplined set of investment criteria across three core drivers of investment outcomes: 1) industry/meso-level drivers, 2) company/bottom-up drivers, and 3) stock valuation. Our research process is built around in-depth research and evaluation into each of these elements. We strive to own businesses that meet the following criteria:
