All investment decisions are conducted in a highly collaborative team environment, with all team members contributing equally to all aspects of the process.  We believe this “multiple eyes” approach allows us to find and invest in high-quality, long-duration growth companies that will deliver superior risk-adjusted returns over the course of many years.
