Bentley Systems, Incorporated (NASDAQ:BSY): BSY is a leading global provider of software for infrastructure engineers. The Bentley family has owned and operated the company for nearly forty years, which continues post-IPO (September 2020). We are attracted to BSY’s market leadership in infrastructure engineering software for public works & utilities, high recurring revenue (~90%), strong margin profile (mid-30% adjusted EBITDA, high-20% free cash flow), and conservative management practices (stock-based compensation is only ~6% of revenue). We believe BSY will provide attractive long-term returns.”
