Independent thinking
We form our own views through research, analysis and first-principles thinking rather than relying on consensus.

Built to
endure.
Acorntree™ is designed around a simple idea: good businesses and good investments can be owned for as long as they continue to create value.
Patient capital creates the possibility of ownership measured in decades.
Long-term ownership
Capital follows
opportunity.
Individual strategies can operate with specialist expertise while Acorntree™ retains the flexibility to allocate capital between opportunities as they arise.
This creates a structure intended to compound capital, relationships and operating knowledge over time.
The horizon is determined by the opportunity itself.
How we think
Discipline
before deployment.
Capital allocation begins with understanding. We seek to develop clear views before committing capital, and remain patient once those views are formed.
Patient capital
We are prepared to hold investments through cycles when the underlying thesis remains intact.
Concentrated conviction
We prefer a small number of understood opportunities to a large number of investments we cannot know deeply.
Enduring value
We look for businesses, assets and ideas capable of creating value repeatedly over long periods of time.
Research
Understanding
deeply.
Acorntree™ believes that good capital allocation begins with a deep understanding of the world in which capital is deployed.
Our research process is intended to develop a deep understanding of businesses, markets and society, and of the economic, technological and human forces that shape them.
