The ancients said that the Earth, in its quiet strength, carries all things. We hold our family's capital in that spirit — as stewards, not owners.
“Working patiently alongside our partners, we invest in renewable energy and the sciences of life, shaping a sustainable future in ways that endure long after they are noticed.”
We measure our work in generations rather than quarters. The questions we ask of a partnership are not how quickly capital can be returned, but how durably an enterprise can be built — and whether the world it helps to make is one we would wish to leave behind.
We do not chase trends, and we do not crowd into auctions. We commit deeply to a small number of partners whose ambitions we share, and we hold our positions long enough for compounding to do its quiet work.
Discretion is part of the discipline. The best outcomes, in our experience, are made in private rooms and over long horizons. So it has been for two generations of our family, and so we intend it to remain.
