Brett Barakett is the Founder and Chief Investment Officer of Tremblant Capital, a twenty-three-year-old long-short and long-only firm focused on deep fundamental research. Brett works with a senior team that has been together for almost twenty years. He has invested through rising and falling tides in the industry and ups and downs in fund flows. He’s also watched many friends and peers retire in that time, yet he keeps skating to where the puck is going.

Our conversation covers Brett’s path to launching Tremblant, including lessons from hockey, operational experience, and the early days in a terrible market for the strategy. We discuss the long-short and long-only models, primary research, portfolio construction, sell decisions, risk management, compensation structures, and Tremblant’s launch of TOGA, one of the first active ETFs run by a longstanding hedge fund manager.
