[Global Long Short Equity]
Uncorrelated results through consistent long and short stock selection
Uncorrelated results through consistent long and short stock selection

Key Tenets of Investing
Be long-term patient investors
Make investments based on stock-picking, not market calls
Opportunistic, global approach, sector agnostic
Own great businesses that can compound capital
Strong alignment of interests with our investors

Differentiating Characteristics
Consistent net exposure close to market neutral
Historically maintained low net exposure and driven high-quality, uncorrelated results through consistent long and short stock selection.
Limit the size of the Strategy
The most compelling shorts are often capacity constrained and hard-to-borrow. Therefore, we are committed to running a reasonably sized strategy that allows us to make the short positions meaningful.
Innovative approach to fee structure
To receive a performance allocation in any given year, a 6.0% historical, 3-year gross CAGR must be met.
Tax efficient
A long-term holding period maximizes the ability to compound pre-tax dollars.
