Our Business Principles
​
Do the right thing
Integrity is above all things. Honest mistakes are inevitable. Willful unethical actions are abhorrent. Even more, we stay far away from the “gray area”. When in doubt, we err on the side of being too careful.
​​​
Treat clients as family
The best decision for our investors is the best decision for us. Our interests are closely aligned in multiple ways. We seek an honest, open, and deep level of communication with our investors and partners.
​​
Aim for excellence
We seek excellence in all things. Excellence comes from a relentless focus on execution. We resolutely focus on making our process better. Thoroughness and determination are keys to success.
​​​
Be kind
Treat others as we wish to be treated – no exceptions. Our partners, employees, investors, various stakeholders, and everyone we encounter will be treated with kindness and respect. We aim for a safe intellectual environment where new ideas are welcomed and communication flows easily. Disagreements are inevitable, but they are resolved in a respectful, fair, and intellectual manner.
​​​
Get excited
Enthusiasm and passion are essential for success. We embrace our mission and see the contribution of even trivial tasks towards building the firm. We seek new challenges and always ask how things can be made better.
​​
Be curious
There is always more to learn. We believe intellectual curiosity is a key to success. There will always be more to learn about the markets, our investments, our partners, and portfolio management.
​​
Be humble
Arrogance and hubris are roadblocks to growth. We quickly admit when we are wrong and embrace the learning lesson. We recognize what we do not know, and we ask for help when needed. We embrace our mistakes as learning opportunities, as honest mistakes are inevitable and forgiven.
​​
Be charitable
A lot of people got a bad deal in this world. We will try to help them out.
