ABOUT THE ADVISER

ABOUT THE FUTURE FUND LLC, ADVISER TO THE ETFs

The Future Fund LLC, adviser to The Future Fund ETFs, is an SEC-Registered Advisor. We’ve identified megatrends that we believe are the most influential multi-year secular growth opportunities shaping the future.


Our focus is on companies that can change the world by capitalizing on these fundamental changes in their markets.

Focused on leading secular growth opportunities

We manage concentrated, high-conviction secular growth portfolios for clients in both a long-only and a hedged equity structure.

Discovering unrecognized equity value

We believe transformative companies will displace legacy industry incumbents in several key sectors.

Portfolio Managers

 

Gary and David began working together in 2013, both specializing in growth stock investing based on fundamental research. With career foundations as analysts, they employ deep fundamental research and modeling to select catalyst-driven secular growth candidates for client portfolios.

Their shared history and prior successes at investment management firms allow them to come to consensus quickly, making investment decisions targeted to benefit clients. Both strongly believe in active management, proprietary research, and high conviction strategies that are not tied to benchmarks.

KEY SECULAR MEGATRENDS

Megatrends are powerful forces that profoundly transform the global economy business and society. They are ignited by innovation in consumer preferences, demographics, and environmental sustainability.

We focus on identifying inflection points in these multi-year, secular trends, which can lead to significant increases in their total addressable markets (TAM), earnings trajectories, and market capitalizations for companies who seize these opportunities.

Our Process

TARGETING BUISNESSES CAPITALIZING ON SECULAR TRENDS OVER 3-5 YEARS

We identify and invest in transformative companies affected by significant secular trends over 3-to-5 years that we believe create long-term value (long positions) and, when appropriate to the strategy, short companies that are at a strategic disadvantage in their markets.

Active Share measures the percentage of fund holdings that is different from the benchmark holdings.
