ABOUT MAVERICK CAPITAL


AREAS OF EXPERTISE

Maverick’s primary area of expertise is in long/short equity investing, buying undervalued stocks and shorting overvalued ones to generate alpha regardless of market direction.

  • Sector Expertise via Dedicated Teams. 

The firm divides its research teams by sector: tech, consumer, healthcare, financial services, industrials, and telecommunications and media.

Maverick is known for extensive, bottom-up fundamental research that drives its stock selection. Analysts typically cover only a few companies to ensure deep knowledge.

Long and short positions are often matched within the same sector to neutralize macro risks. Tight risk controls are used to limit losses and avoid excessive correlation with benchmarks.

While the core is valuation-driven, Maverick has demonstrated opportunistic expertise in thematic investing, especially in artificial intelligence, healthcare innovation, and housing macro shorts.
