Who is this innovation investing strategy for?
This is designed for investors with $1M+ in investable assets who want exposure to innovation and long-term growth, but do not want to rely on hype-driven or speculative themes. We serve the San Francisco Bay Area, based in Walnut Creek, CA.
What problem does innovation investing create for high-net-worth investors?
Innovation can drive long-term growth, but it often attracts speculation, narratives, and extreme valuations. Without discipline, investors may chase trends or become overly concentrated in narrow themes that increase portfolio risk.
How does Index Gurus define “innovation”?
We define innovation as businesses that are using technology, scale, data, or new business models to improve productivity, efficiency, or market leadership—rather than simply pursuing popular trends.
What does “Innovation Moat” mean in this context?
An Innovation Moat refers to durable competitive advantages—such as network effects, distribution, switching costs, or R&D depth— that may help a company sustain leadership and profitability over time.
Do you invest in emerging or speculative technologies?
We aim to avoid speculative positioning. Our focus is typically on large, established leaders with proven business models and financial strength, rather than early-stage or unproven concepts.
How do you manage risk while investing in innovation?
We emphasize diversification, concentration awareness, and a disciplined research framework. We also consider valuation, business quality, time horizon, liquidity needs, and tax implications when making decisions.
Do you promise outperformance from innovation investing?
No. We do not promise or guarantee performance or outperformance. All investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Our focus is disciplined decision-making aligned to client goals.
What should I expect if we work together?
Clients typically want exposure to innovation without emotional decision-making. We aim to provide a disciplined, transparent process for monitoring and adjusting as markets and technologies evolve.
