Mar Vista's purpose is to create value for our investors by generating risk-adjusted returns that exceed the opportunity cost of investing in a passive index. Our mission requires a conviction to be different in how we think, behave and invest. Our team has purposely built durable competitive advantages into our investment framework, culture, business structure and economic incentives that we believe minimize the internal and external pressures that cause most active managers to underperform over time. With our headquarters in Los Angeles, California, and operations in Minnetonka, Minnesota, Mar Vista is a minority-led investment management firm serving the needs of a variety of clients, including institutions, foundations, pensions, endowments, trusts, and high net worth individuals. We seek long-term capital appreciation by investing in a small portfolio of durable franchises that we believe can grow excess returns on capital well into the future, yet trade at attractive discounts to intrinsic value. Our strategies include: Strategic Growth, Focus and Global.
