Business Description
Sands Capital manages relationships with institutional and individual high net worth clients, family offices, and the financial intermediaries who represent these clients, through relationship directors. The majority of these arrangements are discretionary, allowing Sands Capital to select investments and trade on the client’s behalf without prior consultation. They also provide non-discretionary advisory services to Model Clients.
Sands Capital also serves as an investment adviser to Sands Capital Global Growth Fund. Sands Capital shares proprietary research and other information with its Advisory Affiliates, and vice versa. Potential conflicts of interest may arise due to the amount of time Sands Capital staff members devote to managing particular accounts or investment strategies.
Investment Strategy
The Select Growth strategy is a concentrated portfolio primarily focused on large- and mid-capitalization growth businesses, typically holding equity securities of 25 to 30 issuers. The Focus strategies are also concentrated portfolios mainly in large-capitalization growth businesses, but the number of holdings is customized by clients, generally ranging from five to twenty issuers.
Sands Capital manages the portfolios, with eligible securities including equity and equity-related securities. The portfolios remain fully invested, and are commonly benchmarked to the MSCI All Country World Index unless otherwise requested. Sands Capital makes investment decisions for investment strategies as it deems appropriate in its sole discretion.
