Schooner Capital

Schooner Capital invests in private companies and public securities using a permanent capital base, looking across sectors, stages and geographies with an emphasis on independent judgement and contrarian thinking. The firm describes patience as central to its approach, noting that it has operated for 55 years and often invests multiple times in the businesses it backs, favouring close partnership with the management teams it works with.

Its private investment work is focused mainly on technology, healthcare and services companies at all stages, where it works closely with chief executives and leadership teams. Its public investment activity is global and concentrated in a smaller number of holdings, in companies it describes as having strong teams and returns on invested capital. Profits from the firm's activities support a related foundation involved in human rights causes.
