Why We Own Sprouts Farmers Market (Ticker: SFM)

This is our monthly Arch Capital episode. About once a month we will publish an episode that covers a company in the Arch Capital Investors Fund. These episodes will be modeled after our Not So Deep Dive episodes and will also be available on YouTube.

Sprouts Farmers Market, Inc. (SFM) is a grocery store chain that specializes in natural and organic foods, catering to health-conscious consumers, but also facing competition in the grocery industry and supply chain disruptions. Brett and Ryan dive through Sprouts and outline the investment thesis for why we own the company in our Arch Capital limited partnership.
