Maverick Capital
By: Andre F. Perold, Chris McIsaac and Marc Ricks
Abstract
Maverick Capital, a $7 billion hedge fund, faced a number of long-term strategic questions, particularly the issue of growth. With all of its assets invested with one strategy, Maverick was already managing more capital in a dedicated approach than any hedge fund in the world. How much growth could Maverick sustain? If Maverick should grow, how should it do so, and how would this choice affect Maverick's investment approach? Should Maverick take bigger positions in companies? Should it add more stocks to the portfolio? Was it time to reconsider Maverick's net long exposure to the market?
