Attributes Define How our Team Works
Our mission is to deliver superior long-term risk adjusted returns for clients. We rely on four defining attributes of our team to execute:
1
Our unifying investment philosophy
2
Our unwavering work ethic
3
Our collaborative culture
4
Our commitment to our clients

The name of our firm acknowledges San Francisco’s oldest commercial center as a key gateway for sailors, prospectors and entrepreneurs who sought their fortune here during the Gold Rush in the mid-1800s. The charming Jackson Square neighborhood also auspiciously survived the great earthquake and fire of 1906 that destroyed much of the city.

Opportunity and resilience are the dual attributes we actively seek in the holdings for our investment portfolios.

Employee Ownership

Our firm is majority owned by our employees and our partners invest alongside clients in our strategies—which creates clear alignment with the best interests of our clients.
Our clients, a global and diversified set of institutional investors and consultants, see us as partners in pursuit of attractive risk-adjusted returns. We are dedicated to their success.

From our office in San Francisco, we engage in a worldview that envisions equity investing as a gateway to global opportunities to construct differentiated portfolios.
