Team
Physics. History. Geography. These are not fields generally associated with investing, but they do produce disciplined and intellectually curious minds. We hire what we believe is the best talent, coach them in our methodology, and foster a collegial atmosphere where they can share and challenge ideas. The results speak for themselves.
