Charles River Capital
About the Firm
Charles River Capital is a leading independent investment manager with more than 14 years of experience, built on 3 pillars: Philosophy, Processes and Team.
We are Value Investors focused on two lines of business:
Charles River’s asset management business is focused on equity fund management with more than 14 years of consistently delivering investment results for our clients.
Applying the Value Investing philosophy, we diligently perform independent fundamental analysis of companies to identify investments whose market prices trade substantially below our conservative estimates of their intrinsic value (significant margins of safety). Conservative estimates of intrinsic value result in investment opportunities with high conviction of positive return asymmetries and excellent risk-return profiles.
We seek to consistently deliver superior returns over the long-term, resulting from the integration of a proven effective investment philosophy, rigorous structured processes, and a dedicated experienced team aligned with our investors.

Our History
Creating value since 2011
We are defined by our Principles
5 principles guide everything that we do
Excellence
Our qualified team strives to continuously improve everything we do. We believe that the pursuit of excellence in all that we do is key to achieving consistent results over time.
Rationality
We place high value in making sure that our analysis and decisions are driven by facts, reason, and logic. Informed decisions mitigate risks, especially those deriving from behavioral biases, and thus are integral for achieving the goal of maximizing the risk-return relationship of our investments.
Dialectical Processes
The formation of our analysis and of our decision-making is based on dialectical processes. We seek, through reasoned argumentation, to converge distinct ideas and concepts, in order to achieve a result which minimizes human biases, takes advantage of the group’s collective knowledge, and thus, is more secure. We believe that the dialectical method is capable of leading us to make better decisions, with a significant impact on the mitigation of risks inherent to our business.
Integrity
We pride ourselves on always acting with integrity, honesty, respect and professionalism in all that we do. Our commitment to the highest ethical standards is enduring.
Human Capital
Our team is our most important asset. Without our people, it wouldn’t be possible to put into practice any of the previous principles. We work to maintain an environment conducive to attracting, retaining, and developing talent which shares our values and identifies with our culture of excellence, primacy of reason, collaboration, and integrity. To maintain our team’s alignment with our principles and clients, we extend invitations to individuals who have consistently made significant contributions to join as partners in the firm.
