Investment thesis
Lingotto seeks to deliver attractive long-term returns to limited partners while protecting capital from permanent losses. It operates four core investment strategies, each led by a Chief Investment Officer or Managing Partners, and is selectively expanding. The firm embraces concentration, illiquidity and volatility as opportunities rather than risks, and emphasizes a culture of curiosity, courage, humility and patience. Lingotto provides its investment teams an entrepreneurial, streamlined and collaborative environment free of large-organization bureaucracy, allowing them to focus on investing. Success is defined as growing assets under management primarily through performance rather than capital flows, and the firm partners selectively with like-minded, long-term-oriented investors.
