Russell Burke is the founder and portfolio manager of Burke Capital.
Burke Capital leads with a strong set of core values to make high-quality, long-term investment decisions that result in outperformance over the market and our peer group. In the beginning, and at the end, the rate of return an investor achieves on behalf of the partner is the true test of quality.
Our goal is simple: be a high-quality investment manager, attract high-quality individuals with long compounding runways, and keep them through the course of their life to help them achieve their financial dreams.

What's a product or service you'd like to show.
"It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble, it's what you know for sure that just ain't so" - Mark Twain
All out effort, commitment, and toughness to overcome the inevitable periods of underperformance.
You attract what you are. Quality relationships start with quality partners. Quality returns start with quality businesses.
You cannot predict but you can prepare. Our focus is on planting seeds today that may seem like a waste of time until years and years down the road.
The ability to sit and wait for the 'no-brainer' opportunities rather than stretch essential investment fundamentals that lead to trouble.
The ability to stay true to one's investment principles but adapt an approach that matches the current investing environment.

At Burke Capital, excellence in investing is our absolute objective. To look our partners in the eye, to think about respectability and reputation, and viewing investing as a craft that must be chiseled away at over the course of one's lifetime is our way of pouring our heart in the business. In other words, we view investing as an art - something that extends well beyond profit margins, fees, growth rates.
Our central goal - to achieve average annual returns of 15 - 20% without undue risk - is an intellectual challenge. This is explicitly different than the approach of many investment managers who simply seek to make the most money possible. These two approaches contradict each other - infinite size, taking all the money you can get, and preserving excellence and performance are opposites. Our choice: always go for the best performance.
