Firm Overview
Tsai Capital Corporation is a growth-oriented, long/short global equity manager headquartered in New York City. Through original, in-depth research that digs deep into a company’s operations, Tsai Capital seeks long-term investments in a limited number of high-quality, growth companies that we believe offer significant upside potential and a margin of safety at the time of purchase. The company was founded in 1997 by Christopher Tsai, President and Chief Investment Officer.
Investment Philosophy
We believe in minimizing the risk of capital loss and maximizing return. In an attempt to accomplish these objectives, Tsai Capital invests in a limited number of high-quality, growth companies that we believe offer significant upside potential and a margin of safety at the time of purchase.
Because truly outstanding businesses are not often available at attractive prices, we seek to hold investments for the long-term, provided their fundamental and qualitative characteristics remain favorable.
