Why We Own Alphabet/Google (Ticker: GOOG)

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.

Google (listed under its parent company: Alphabet) provides various products and platforms around the world. It is likely that you use Google products every day. These services include ads, Android, Chrome, hardware, Gmail, Google Drive, Google Maps, Google Photos, Google Play, Search, and YouTube. Brett and Ryan dive through Google and outline the investment thesis for why we own the company in our Arch Capital limited partnership.
