About Us


The Future Fund LLC is an SEC-Registered Investment Advisor. We've identified megatrends that we believe are the most influential multi-year secular growth opportunities shaping the future. Our focus is on companies that can change the world by capitalizing on these fundamental changes in their markets.

Focused on leading secular growth opportunities

We manage concentrated, high-conviction secular growth portfolios for clients in both a long-only and a hedged equity structure.

Discovering unrecognized equity value

We believe transformative companies will displace legacy industry incumbents in several key sectors.

Our Process

Portfolio Managers


Gary and David began working together in 2013, both specializing in growth stock investing based on fundamental research. With career foundations as analysts, they employ deep fundamental research and modeling to select catalyst-driven secular growth candidates for client portfolios.

Their shared history and prior successes at investment management firms allow them to come to consensus quickly, making investment decisions targeted to benefit clients. Both strongly believe in active management, proprietary research, and high conviction strategies that are not tied to benchmarks.
