Moat Master: Brian Bares talks moats, and high growth with Tobias Carlisle on The Acquirers Podcast

Brian Bares founded Bares Capital Management, Inc in Austin, Texas in 2000. He believes concentrated portfolios of inefficiently priced small companies lead to high relative compounding. His firm manages institutional portfolios of small-cap and micro-cap common stocks in long-only, replicated separate accounts. Mr. Bares began his career by working his way up from the bottom. From compliance and operations, to trading and portfolio management, he garnered experience in nearly all aspects of running a boutique small-cap manager before starting his own company. He graduated from the University of Nebraska with a degree in Mathematics. Mr. Bares holds the Chartered Financial Analyst designation and is a member of the CFA Society of Austin. He resides in Austin, Texas, with his wife and three sons.
