Hello everyone and welcome to Ed Barron. I'm Andy Surward.

Welcome to our guest, David Gross, managing partner of Bain Capital, which is a large global

private investment firm.

David, nice to see you.

Good to see you.

Great to be here, Andy.

So tell us about how you measure the scale of Bain and how you would measure success at the company?

So it's a great first question.

You know, we are perhaps a little bit different than our brother in the industry in that we don't look at really assets under management as the primary mark,

but really it's our investment returns and our investment performance.

Our overarching goal as a firm is to generate superior performance for our investors.

We're really looking for that premium level of returns driven by alpha that's built on real capabilities. And so it really is the economic profit that we're able to

generate for our investors that that's the key you know KPI that we're focused on and what sort of numbers

can you share with us that would speak to that well we want to be in the certainly certainly the first and second quartile of returns.

And we're really shooting for, you know, very significant, a thousand basis point premiums

to the relevant, you know, indices that we'd be looking at.

So, you know, we're shooting for high performance that's going to compound over a long period of time that's going to be differentiated in the way that we generate that performance,

largely driven by value creation.
