Bares Capital Management, Inc. is an Austin, TX based Registered Investment Advisor owned by the principals of the firm.   221 West 6th Street Suite 1225 Austin, TX 78701 512-542-1083 [ P ] 512-542-1084 [ F ] We are not currently hiring. You may send us your resume and we will keep it on file, however, we will not respond to inquiries about employment. If a need arises, we will contact qualified candidates. We specialize in managing concentrated portfolios of small company common stocks. Our clients are primarily institutions utilizing the 'endowment model', and we are often one of many investment managers hired to run a specialized strategy. Our approach is generally not suitable for individual investors unless they meet our requirements for minimum account size, and more importantly, understand our differentiated investment philosophy. Our research process consists of qualitative and quantitative company-level research. Our qualitative research focuses on the competitive aspects of the business under consideration and an evaluation of management capability. We prefer companies for our portfolio that are run by talented capital allocators who will maximize returns-on-invested-capital over long periods of time by leveraging some durable competitive advantage. We attempt to selectively add these types of companies to our portfolio at times when price discounts present themselves in the public markets. Limiting our portfolio to a handful of businesses improves our depth of knowledge of each company and focuses our clients' capital in our very best ideas. By limiting the amount of capital that we accept from investors, we maintain investment flexibility in anticipation of growth of client assets over time.
