TCI employs a fundamental, value-oriented investment philosophy focused on deep due diligence and active engagement with the management teams of companies they invest in. Their investment approach is predicated on identifying underappreciated companies with strong business models and growth prospects. TCI is known for its significant advocacy for improved corporate governance and transparency as means to enhance shareholder value. They invest across a wide range of sectors globally, including but not limited to financial services, technology, and industrials. Sustainability and socially responsible investing are also key pillars of their investment thesis, as they consider the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) aspects of the businesses they invest in. TCI also has a charitable arm, The Children's Investment Fund Foundation, which works to improve the lives of children in developing countries through various interventions aimed at child health and education. This foundation is a separate legal entity that is funded by TCI's profits.
