Investment Principles
Discovery Value
We invest where we feel we have unique insights on future earnings power that the market undervalues over the intermediate time horizon of two to three years.
Quality
Under the majority of macroeconomic conditions, we focus on enterprises that we are pleased to own for numerous years. We seek industry leaders with a track record of success, solid management teams, and a viable pricing plan.
Opportunity
We believe entry point matters and are industry, sector, and geographically neutral. We seek to determine the optimal investment.
Convinction
We believe deep domain expertise and differentiated fundamental due diligence drive confidence in owning a concentrated portfolio.
Discipline
We strive for continuous and what we think to be rigorous monitoring of investments to see whether or not our opinions align with the consensus.
Customization
We work closely with clients to create a portfolio that is tailored to their specific needs and preferences.
ESG Principles
We believe that ESG factors, when coupled with the appropriate active investment strategy, may be a significant driver of positive alpha and excess returns. Rapid technological advancement/disruption and regulatory ESG-related activities have measurable effects on the economics of business units, both favorably and negatively. We believe that investing with an ESG lens enables us to mitigate risk and improve long-term performance.
Stewardship
Integrate fundamental approach with responsible corporate citizenship and proactive ESG consciousness.
Focus
Avoid investing based purely on the notion or promise of ESG. Remain within our core areas of Domain Expertise. Accentuate opportunities where we believe ESG to be a viable economic driver or where tangential benefits are substantial.
Quality
Focus on good businesses we want to own over multiple years. Avoid making investments because it “feels” good or simply has a high ESG rating. Adhere to the Bain Capital Public Equity Investment Principles.
Environment
We seek to avoid companies doing harm; consider opportunities where consumer, social and regulatory preferences/trends create an economic driver.
Social
We aim to identify good economic businesses where the core product or service helps alleviate a social challenge.
Governance
We aim to identify good management teams with strong operating skills and smart, shareholder friendly corporate governance. Seek transparency, shareholder communication, ethical behavior and diversity of thought. We opportunistically engage with management and boards behind the scenes.
