Inside Our Company Culture
Quality
Our unwavering commitment to all things quality starts with the character of our people, the culture we promote, and the companies in which we invest. The pursuit of quality defines us.
Independence
Independence is core to who we are. It means more to us than a business structure: it is a state of being, one that is necessary to engender original thinking and a culture of conviction.
Collaboration
Investing is a collaborative endeavor built on trust. It’s this trust in one another that gives us the confidence to communicate openly, honestly, and directly, both internally and with our clients.
