Investor Details Founded: 1976
WCM Investment Management LLC is a global growth equity specialist that focuses on identifying companies with durable competitive advantages and strong corporate cultures to achieve long-term excess returns. The firm employs a bottom-up investment approach, seeking companies with low or no debt, rising returns on invested capital, and predictable free cash flow generation. WCM requires each prospective company to possess a durable and improving competitive advantage, or 'economic moat.'
The firm's investment strategy emphasizes the trajectory of a company's competitive advantage, believing that a growing economic moat is more important than an absolute wide economic moat. Corporate culture is also considered crucial for the long-term success of any enterprise. WCM's portfolios are structured to be distinct from market indices, focusing on their best ideas to generate attractive returns.
Founded in 1976 and headquartered in Laguna Beach, California, WCM is a privately held, employee-owned firm with a culture of innovation and meritocracy. As of June 30, 2025, the firm managed assets totaling US$116.20 billion. WCM serves a diverse client base, including individual investors, corporations, public and private funds, Taft-Hartley plans, foundations, and endowments. The firm's primary goal is to generate long-term, sustainable excess returns for clients through a culture of innovation, close alignment of employee incentives, and a flat power structure that fosters meritocracy and debate.
