Company mission
To create consumer-focused public equity investment with an approach that is bottom-up, concentrated and long-term orientated.
Our take
Founded in 2017, Builders Union is among the fastest-growing hedge funds globally. It is an independent partnership, B Corp certified and has been climate positive since inception
It is not without competitors in the public equity and hedge fund market. Examples include Knock out capital, and Maxima Investments.
The consumer focused approach to investment, alongside working as a union, creates a unique business model & work environment within the often individualist and detached PE sector. This human-oriented approach to business sets Builders Union apart.
