Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Miller Value Partners?
Chairman and CIO Bill Miller sets the investment philosophy and leads portfolio decisions. Portfolio manager Samantha S. McLemore also contributes to stock selection and strategy implementation. The small team allows Miller to remain the central decision-maker.
How does Miller Value Partners source deal flow?
The firm relies on bottom-up, fundamental research. Miller's network, built over decades at Legg Mason, provides access to management teams and ideas. The firm does not use systematic screens, but instead focuses on a few high-conviction names.
Is Miller Value Partners structured as a single family office?
No. It is an SEC-registered investment adviser (RIA) that manages mutual funds and institutional accounts. Miller seeded the firm with his own capital, but it operates as a registered asset manager open to external clients.
Does Miller Value Partners participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?
The firm primarily buys publicly traded equities. It does not engage in private equity or venture capital commitments. Investment vehicles are liquid, long-only or long-short mutual funds and separate accounts.
What investment stages does Miller Value Partners typically target?
Large-cap and mid-cap public equities. The firm typically targets mature companies it believes are temporarily undervalued, with catalysts for recovery. It does not invest in startups or early-stage private companies.
Which sectors does Miller Value Partners explicitly avoid?
The firm has no formal exclusion list. Its value approach tends to avoid high-growth, low-cash-flow sectors. Historically, Miller has been known for contrarian bets in financials and technology, and has avoided most speculative areas.
Where does the underlying wealth come from?
Bill Miller accumulated his wealth through his track record at Legg Mason, where he managed the Legg Mason Value Trust. He has been a prominent philanthropist, notably giving to the Santa Fe Institute and Johns Hopkins. The firm's capital comes from Miller's seed investment plus external client assets.
