Co-Chief Investment Officer, Portfolio Manager
Brooke de Boutray, CFA
Investment Team
As one of the firm’s Co-Chief Investment Officers and Portfolio Managers, I huddle with our investment team to hunt, research, interview, and debate. As well, I help define investment policy and am responsible for selecting equity holdings. My focus is on Internet, Technology, Consumer Discretionary, and Telecom.
Our research is different here. I came from a bank environment where everything was done by committee. We don’t operate that way; we’re small and flexible.
We’re an optimistic and open-minded team. Being located in Seattle–and not Boston or New York–helps that.
The best advice I’ve heard: “Life is ten percent what happens to you and ninety percent how you respond to it.”
“Being complacent is the worst thing I can do. When it hurts so bad, that’s when you should likely buy.”
