Welcome - Smith Capital Investors

Today marks 3 years since the launch of our Smith Capital Short Duration and Total Return strategies. As I reflect, I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the opportunity, but more importantly, for the support shown by our partners, investors, and employees since our launch.

I remember writing about the aspirations, vision, and mission for a new investment firm. The opportunity to build a culture focused on authenticity, commitment, and service. A belief that we need to create more value than we take. Those were exciting days, but I find myself even more excited today.

When we launched, we highlighted three foundational pillars: Investing, People, Culture, around which all behaviors and actions must be centered. Today, we remain firmly committed to these tenets, which will serve as our guiding light in delivering positive outcomes for investors for years to come.

We are incredibly proud of the results we’ve delivered in some of the most challenging markets on record. That said, our focus on investing excellence expands well beyond the competitive results we’ve produced for our investors; it’s about consistency. Few find fixed income exciting or inspiring, but for this team, it is our calling and our mission.

Words cannot express my gratitude to those who have partnered with us. Thank you for the opportunity to serve.

With gratitude,

Gibson
