Principles & Culture

Rampart Ridge is built on a set of principles that it believes are collectively supportive of its primary goal, to deliver superior risk-adjusted returns over the long run by consistently delivering better investment decisions, risk management, and execution in the short. 

• Integrity: Rampart Ridge acts with integrity, not only when it is convenient or our interests are perfectly aligned, but even when it is difficult. We are in this business for the long-run and expect to meet most counter parties more than once.
• Service Orientation: Clients come first. Rampart Ridge exists to optimally serve its investors, tenants and advisory clients; in the long run, it will thrive only if they do first.
• Innovation: Rampart Ridge seeks to be an early adopter of technologies that could enhance its analysis or execution and to understand technological trends likely impact space markets better than the competition.
• Perspicacity: Rampart Ridge aspires to, through combining better access to information with incisive analysis, identify unique investment opportunities and make better investment decisions.
• Meritocracy: Rampart Ridge strives to make better decisions by encouraging independent thinking, encouraging questioning of the status quo, correcting for behavioral biases, and embracing diversity across multiple dimensions. We believe that important decisions should be weighed by way of spirited, collegial debate, while recognizing that the quiet voices may contain disproportionate wisdom.
• Employing Exceptional People: Rampart Ridge is a lean organization where individuals at all levels are given real, hands-on responsibilities, broad exposure, and the chance to quickly test the bounds of their capabilities, both in technical skill and leadership ability. We believe in the potency of mentorship and challenging, meaningful work as means to developing people, whom we believe have near unbounded potential for growth.
• Collaboration: While Rampart Ridge employs a high performing team, and encourages individual creativity and initiative, it believes the value created by cross functional collaboration is multiplicative. 
• Risk Control: Rampart Ridge aspires to better analyze, price and control risk, improving portfolio expected returns by avoiding deals that present unattractive ex-ante return distributions.
