Heard Capital is a Chicago-based investment firm focused on identifying high-conviction investment opportunities in the financials, industrials, technology, telecommunications and media sectors. The firm was founded in 2011 and currently manages approximately $2 billion in assets on behalf of leading endowments, foundations, pensions and select family offices. The firm's high conviction long only strategy takes a multi-year, fundamental and concentrated approach to public equity investments that it believes provide long-term solutions to key sector level debates. The firm focuses on companies that we believe possess a durable moat, demonstrate clear alignment of interests with shareholders and maintain a strong "say-to-do" ratio, but are misunderstood by market participants, resulting in the potential for profitable growth and compounding of capital in any environment.
