Our
Inspiration

The Bodhi Tree is a sacred symbol in Buddhism and is also known as the wisdom tree. We are inspired to work to translate experience and knowledge into practical wisdom that can drive action and results.

Back to Basics

There are a few simple observations that reflect our experience and inform our approach to the marketplace:

01

The last few years have been fun but also a major distortion of reality.

02

Adjusting to the new realities will take time but will yield very attractive opportunities for long-term value creation.

03

What matters most – and always has – is sustainable, profitable growth.

04

There is a premium on practical experience, knowledge and dispassionate rationality.

05

The winners will build durable businesses on solid strategic, operational, financial, regulatory and organizational foundations.
