About

Based in McLean, VA, Ravenswood Partners is an independent 100% employee-owned investment firm. The firm was founded in 2023 by Ashraf Haque, bringing significant experience in research, portfolio management, and strategy development from his career at Sands Capital (2008-2022). Sands is a global tier-one growth investor with over $45b AUM at the time of his departure (June 30, 2022). Mr. Haque grew up in Chicago, in the Ravenswood neighborhood.

Our investment philosophy is to own a concentrated portfolio of businesses that can compound earnings and FCF over the long-term, while managing downside risk.

Our portfolio contains a mix of growth and quality businesses across sectors and geographies, with a strong diversity of business drivers. We utilize common-sense risk management guardrails and tools, and supplement our qualitative judgement with data and quantitative tools wherever possible.

Our team has launched, scaled and managed multiple strategies with strong investment results; the team has shared experience and context. Our institutional quality middle and back office stands ready to partner with the world’s most demanding clients.
