How we build for the Long Term
To solve problems that have no precedent, you cannot rely on old models.
Our approach begins by acknowledging the limitations of current tools and then systematically building new ones.
Our methodology is grounded in three core activities: developing investable tools, curating rigorous work from across disciplines, and converging a community of investors committed to long-term positioning.
What we're building
From first principles to tangible tools
Best practices library
Curating rigorous work
The work of long-term stewardship requires drawing from a wide range of disciplines.
We collect, refine, and stress-test tools and models for long-term capital – from portfolio construction across generations to institutional continuity, strategic foresight, macroeconomics, and anthropology.
This curated library serves as the intellectual foundation for our work.
ULTI working tracks
Developing new practices
Through collaborative formats like closed-door roundtables, focused working groups, and strategic consultations, our members develop and codify new practices.
We move beyond debate to combine financial logic with temporal range, building the tangible tools of modern stewardship.
Signals & edge cases
Surfacing what's next
We surface emerging strategies that may not yet be mainstream but reveal how long-term thinking is showing up—across asset classes, geographies, and generations.
What guides us
Temporal discipline
Every tool and concept must justify its range. We ask: Does this approach genuinely extend our strategic horizon, or is it merely a short-term idea with a long-term label?
Cross-disciplinary thinking
We borrow from macroeconomics, anthropology, engineering, foresight, and beyond to ensure our frameworks are robust and multi-faceted.
Institutional fit
ULTI tools are built with allocators and long-term stewards in mind. We prioritize solutions that address the unique governance, risk, and accountability structures of these critical institutions.
Testability
Concepts must be applicable, not abstract. We focus on developing frameworks that can be piloted, measured, and integrated into the real-world decision-making processes of our members.
