Spear is a fundamental asset manager specializing in industrial technology.
Do more than passively track the broader market. Adding a thoughtfully managed product to your portfolio can help you capture more upside in the long run.
How we invest
Spear’s analysis method examines a company’s value chain and finds changes that could offer overlooked opportunities. The research process is rigorous: surveying customers, assessing financials, analyzing the quality of the leadership team, and uncovering differentiated products and untapped markets.
The most suitable investment for the most significant impact isn’t usually what’s in vogue. We gain an edge by paying attention where others aren’t. The opportunities uncovered aren’t just good for your returns but also good for the world. Spear builds products for people who care about where their investments go.
