Public Equities

Overview

ABOUT

The MSD Public Equities Team invests in durable, high-quality businesses with capable management at compelling valuations. We focus on finding investments that we can hold for years or decades.

PHILOSOPHY

The team employs a fundamental, research-driven approach and seeks to deeply understand the businesses we invest in. “Knowing what we own” allows us to be opportunistic when others are fearful and avoid permanent impairments of capital.

APPROACH

The team utilizes a carefully designed set of processes and tools that balance creative idea generation and deep research with rigorous, systematic portfolio construction. We believe that a disciplined, repeatable process is essential to achieving sustained investing success.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

The team targets attractive risk-adjusted performance by seeking above-market returns with below-market risk over a market cycle.
