An alumnus of Bowdoin College, Stewart Strawbridge holds a bachelor’s degree in classics. For the last 10 years, Stewart Strawbridge has served as a managing member of Selkirk Partners, a firm with a long-short equity investment approach. Selkirk Partners focuses on long-term results by conducting thorough research of markets to understand trends that can cause large end markets to rise or fall. When choosing equities to invest in, the firm’s leaders take a long-term view of what a company can become. Specifically, Selkirk Partners looks at a company’s business model, technology, and product or service offerings and compares them to those of competitors. While the firm takes both short and long positions in public equities, it maintains a long-biased approach under normal market conditions. Selkirk Partners aims for most of its fund’s profits to come from the portfolio’s long side, and its net exposure is typically between 40 and 100 percent of equity. Its owners are the biggest investors in the fund and strive to maintain a close, trusted relationship with investors.

A managing member with Selkirk Partners, Stewart Strawbridge is based in Portland, Maine, and works toward achieving long term strategic goals through equity investments. Along with his wife Liz Strawbridge, MD, Stewart Strawbridge recently purchased the former Outliers Eatery building. He is working to convert it into Good Medicine, a space that will nurture body-mind-spirit connections and incorporate a healthy restaurant and spaces for acupuncture, yoga, dance, and meditation. One of the purposes of meditation is gaining an understanding of oneself and one's underlying intentions, which Deepak Chopra, MD, has described as “a directed impulse of consciousness.” This can involve slipping into the gap between those emotions, memories, and thoughts that create a busy internal dialogue. In this gap is a state of pure awareness that lies beyond the “ego-mind.” This meditative state of restful awareness is ideal for setting intention and then letting it go. This process continues through a return to the place of intention each day during meditation. As Dr. Chopra describes it, intention takes on greater power when it arises from a sense of fulfillment, or contentment, rather than a sense of needing or lacking something. Stewart Strawbridge, a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) and one of the three founding partners of Selkirk Partners, appreciates integrative medicine. Stewart and Liz Strawbridge are set to open Good Medicine, a nonprofit integrative medicine community space in Portland, at the former site of the Outliers Eatery. Integrative medicine takes a comprehensive approach to healthcare, dealing with all aspects of the patient's life, including physical, spiritual, mental, emotional, and social health. Rather than being viewed in isolation, conditions and ongoing issues receive consideration as part of the total picture of a person's health, which can inform needs in multiple contexts. Many scientific and medical disciplines play a role in such a comprehensive treatment approach. Integrative medicine does not replace conventional therapies. Rather, conventional therapies for both physical and mental health are used alongside approaches that manage the social situation and environment of the patient. This approach to medicine is heavily personalized, and relies strongly on self-exploration and self-development by both patients and practitioners. Patients must be active participants in their care in order for integrative wellness to succeed. |
