How we work with you

How we approach manager selection

  • We partner exclusively with best-in-class managers at BBH and third-party investment management firms who align with our philosophy. 
  • We give preference to owner-operated, employee-owned managers with aligned incentives. 
  • Our managers excel at identifying inefficiencies and owning their investments with conviction. 
  • We prioritize maintaining meaningful exposure to proven alpha generators.

Our core beliefs

  • Superior returns stem from the patient ownership of a well-constructed portfolio of public and private investments. 
  • Deep due diligence and bottom-up fundamental research are the foundation of our success. 
  • Partnering with like-minded investors who share our long-term vision supports us in creating value. 
  • Alignment of interests drives success; we invest alongside our clients with managers who do the same. 
  • Long-term thinking allows us to capitalize on opportunities others overlook. 
  • Price follows value – volatility is not a risk, but an opportunity. 
  • Contrarian thinking enables us to invest against momentum-driven trends and capture value.
