Listen "Episode 44: What is Value These Days and Does it Even Matter? Bill Barton, Founding Partner at Colrain Capital, LLC"
Episode Synopsis
My guest today is Bill Barton. Bill is a Founding Partner of Colrain Capital – overseeing all elements of the firm’s portfolio management. Founded in 2001, Colrain specializes in fundamental stock picking. They run one concentrated portfolio of best ideas. The team initially met at legendary value equity firm GMO – and left in 2001 to form Mayo Capital with Richard Mayo. That firm is now known as Colrain. Bill earned is BA in English at Dartmouth College and his MBA from Darden at UVA. I was originally introduced to the Colrain team by another family office. We frequently get introductions and referrals, but this one was special. The principal of the family office insisted that we meet due to Colrain’s disciplined and successful track record of picking stocks over the years. But the main reason was the integrity and partnership of the founders. Colrain sticks to their principles while exhibiting the flexibility and humility to thrive in today’s market. For those listeners interested in a different perspective on stock picking, this will not disappoint. We talk market structure, sectors, and yeah… we go into names, too.This podcast was recorded on December 2, 2025.
