A firm built on conviction.
White Brook Capital was founded in 2016 with the belief that investors shouldn't have to choose between earning a return and sleeping at night. We manage separately managed accounts for accredited investors who want exposure to US markets less the industries that profit from war and vice.
White Brook is a different kind of fiduciary.
White Brook doesn't treat values as a marketing overlay or as part of a "broader conversation". There is no "ethical sleeve". We don't believe that knowingly earning an unclean return can be cleansed through donation when much cleaner alternatives are available.
Our work is to understand how companies make money and judge their integrity. For clients that want a more concentrated portfolio, we then find the best risk-adjusted returns available inside that universe that we can defend to ourselves, to our children, and to our clients.
