Lisanti Capital Growth

Mary Lisanti, the firm's founder, serves as President and Chief Investment Officer and makes all portfolio decisions. She built the firm in 1997 after leading small-cap growth strategies at Strong Capital Management and Bankers Trust. No other portfolio managers are disclosed in regulatory filings.

Lisanti relies on direct management meetings and fundamental research rather than quantitative screening. The firm's small size and founder-led model mean corporate executives engage directly with the decision-maker. This personal-access advantage is particularly relevant in the small-cap universe, where management relationships are often the margin of analytical insight.

The firm runs a single long-only public-equity strategy concentrated in US small- and mid-cap growth stocks. It does not make fund commitments, co-investments, private-company investments, or club deals. The strategy is an all-equity, bottom-up growth portfolio.
