The Innovation Thesis
Why We Believe Innovation Wins
The companies in this portfolio aren’t riding a trend — they’re building the infrastructure of the next economy.
AI Is a Platform Shift
AI is not a feature — it’s a computing paradigm comparable to the internet itself. Companies building AI infrastructure will capture trillions in economic value over the next decade.
Software Eats the World
Cloud adoption is still early innings globally. Enterprise software spend grows 15–20% annually as the shift to consumption-based models creates predictable, compounding revenue streams.
Cybersecurity Is Non-Negotiable
Every connected device and cloud workload expands the attack surface. Security spending is structural, not cyclical — the last budget line to get cut.
Compute Demand Is Exponential
AI training and inference require exponentially more compute. GPU demand and custom silicon create a structural supercycle for semiconductor companies.
Winner-Take-Most Dynamics
Network effects and switching costs create winner-take-most outcomes. The companies building the largest ecosystems today compound their advantages for decades.
Data Is the New Moat
Companies with proprietary data assets build increasingly insurmountable advantages. More data improves the product, which attracts more users, which generates more data.
Ideal Client
Who This Strategy Is Built For
The Innovation SMA is designed for investors with long time horizons, high risk tolerance, and a deep understanding that short-term volatility is the price of long-term outperformance. It’s not for everyone — and that’s the point.
The Long-Term Builder
Professionals in their 30s–50s with 15+ years to retirement. They’re in accumulation mode, maxing out 401(k)s and IRAs, and want their most aggressive allocation in a tax-advantaged Roth IRA where it can compound tax-free for decades.
Roth IRA Allocation
The Aggressive Growth Investor
High-net-worth individuals who can afford to take concentrated risk with a portion of their portfolio. They understand volatility, aren’t panicked by drawdowns, and want maximum upside exposure to the innovation economy.
Mod-Aggressive / Aggressive
The Business Owner / Entrepreneur
Founders and business owners who already live in a high-risk world. They appreciate concentrated bets, understand that outsized returns require conviction, and want their investment portfolio to match the growth trajectory of their business.
Business Owner Advisory
The Tech-Savvy Investor
Investors who follow the technology landscape, understand AI and cloud infrastructure at a high level, and want professional management of the portfolio they’d want to build themselves — but with disciplined execution and tax management.
