Brian Bares is the founder of Bares Capital Management, a $5
billion long only investment boutique that employs independent,
qualitative research on growing companies to build highly
concentrated portfolios.
Our conversation covers Brian’s early life investing lessons,
bootstrapping an asset management business, and finding
product-market fit. We then turn to his investment approach,
highlighting target companies across business quality, management,
and growth, the research process, position sizing, decision making,
and sell discipline. Lastly, we discuss the evolution of BCM’s
business from a micro cap strategy to three strategies across
market capitalizations today.
Through conversations with leaders in the money game, we explore how these holders of the keys to the kingdom allocate their time and their capital.
