White Brook Capital was founded in 2016 on the belief that investors should not have to choose between earning a return and sleeping at night. We manage separately managed accounts for accredited investors who want real exposure to the American economy — minus the industries that profit from harm.
Basil has spent nearly two decades professionally investing in public markets. He founded White Brook Capital in 2016 after a career at some of the most respected platforms on the buy- and sell-side.
Before founding the firm, Basil was a Senior Analyst at MSF Capital, a value-oriented hedge fund. Prior to MSF, he earned his MBA at the Kellogg School of Management with concentrations in Finance and Management & Strategy. Before Kellogg, he was the telecom analyst at BBT Capital Management, a roughly $2.0 billion hedge fund. Basil started his career as an investment banking analyst in the Technology, Media, and Telecom group at JPMorgan.
He holds an A.B. in Political Science from the University of Chicago in addition to his MBA. He lives in Chicago's northern suburbs with his wife, ten-year-old son, and five-year-old daughter.
Most asset managers treat values as a marketing overlay — an "ESG fund" sleeve beside a vanilla portfolio that still owns the same tobacco company, the same arms manufacturer, the same payday lender. White Brook Capital was built differently. There is no "ethical sleeve" and a conventional sleeve. The exclusions are the strategy.
Our work is to find the best risk-adjusted returns available inside a universe we can defend — to our clients, to their children, and to ourselves. We are a small firm and we intend to stay that way. Capacity discipline is a feature.
If our approach resonates, we'd be glad to talk. We'll send strategy materials after a short qualifying conversation.
