Are you a
second cookie?
PHILOSOPHY
In 1972, Walter Mischel, a professor at Stanford, published (and subsequently updated) a research paper famously known as the “Marshmallow experiment” that shows the power of delayed gratification.
Many investors are focused on near-term results (devouring the first cookie) and don’t have the patience to exercise self-control / delay gratification for a significantly greater reward (patiently awaiting the second cookie).
Parallaxes has sought to partner with “second cookie” investors that share the firm’s long-term outlook on the investing environment.
In the intensely competitive world of finance, the easy money has been made as best practices became institutionalized across the industry. Today’s investment leaders have significant scale benefits and seek to compete based upon cost of capital, resulting in often times undifferentiated investment performance profiles.
Parallaxes was created to focus on overlooked niches — Parallaxes seeks to be a holistic solutions providers on complex issues.
