Diamond Hill
Diamond Hill Capital Management is an active investment management firm headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, founded in 2000 as a successor to Banc Stock Group (established 1988). The firm is an SEC-registered investment adviser and operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of Diamond Hill Investment Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: DHIL), which is publicly traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market. Diamond Hill acquired a majority stake in Diamond Hill Capital Management from First Eagle Investments in recent years, and the firm manages assets through nine equity strategies and four fixed income strategies serving individual investors, financial advisors, institutional clients, and charitable organizations. The firm's investment team holds extensive Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) designations, reflecting its commitment to rigorous, research-driven investment management.
Diamond Hill's investment philosophy is grounded in fundamental analysis and a value-oriented approach to portfolio construction, built on four core principles: treating every investment as a partial ownership interest in a business, always investing with a margin of safety, maintaining a long-term investment temperament, and recognizing that market price and intrinsic value tend to converge over time. The firm applies these principles across its equity strategies, which span large, mid, small, and international capitalization segments, as well as its fixed income strategies covering core bond, short duration, and securitized bond approaches. Diamond Hill's disciplined focus on intrinsic value and long-term thinking differentiates it from many active managers who pursue shorter-term trading or momentum-based strategies.
Diamond Hill Capital Management has built a strong institutional and retail following over its more than 25-year operating history, earning recognition for investment consistency, transparency, and client alignment. As a First Eagle Investments company, Diamond Hill benefits from affiliation with one of the world's most respected value-oriented investment organizations while maintaining its own distinct investment culture and process. The firm's employee ownership structure, combined with its public holding company model, creates a unique alignment of interests between investment professionals, shareholders, and clients that is uncommon in the asset management industry. Diamond Hill serves as an important benchmark for quality active management in the broader investment landscape.
