Teams

Eight teams.
One Investment Committee.

Tap any team to see its members and what they own. Every team is led by a Director who sits on the Investment Committee alongside the Executive Committee.

About

Bottom-up fundamental research across all 11 GICS sectors — Energy, Materials, Industrials, Consumer Discretionary, Consumer Staples, Health Care, Financials, Information Technology, Communication Services, Utilities, Real Estate. Every idea is a written memo before it reaches the Investment Committee. Some leads double up on adjacent sectors: Arnav Dudeja owns both Energy (as Co-Lead alongside Mridul Bhatla) and Utilities; Hao-Chen (Howard) Shieh covers both Materials and Real Estate.
