As a former operator with three decades of experience, David Grain envisioned an investment management firm that creates value through focus, expansive sector knowledge, rigorous analytics, and a dedicated team of financial professionals.

We have realized this vision by assembling the best investment minds in the industry, using sophisticated data analysis and a disciplined process to uncover and assess opportunities.

We are passionate about both telecommunications investing and effecting positive change in local communities that depend on essential broadband services. We are committed to our management teams, our partners, and to operational excellence.

Through this vision and its execution, we have consistently generated outsized returns for leading global institutions, including endowments, foundations, and pension plans.

Broadband is essential.

Telecommunications presents a powerful investment opportunity. With it comes fierce competition that requires experience.

The industry has charted consistent growth and demonstrated little correlation with broader market conditions.

More than ever, the business of connecting our world is essential work, and Grain has taken a leadership role in creating opportunity and growth.

Grain's responsible investing commitment

Essential to creating value in our investment approach is applying a strong emphasis on the stewardship of responsible governance and sustainable environmental and social engagement.
