Firm Investment Philosophies

Hello fellow degenerates,

Does anyone know about how buyside firms differentiate themselves in their investment philosophies? Looking to learn how each firm thinks about investments (what do they focus on finding? Margins, moats, scale, trends?). Has proven difficult to find just perusing through their websites and haven't found a good thread on it here yet so figured I'd start one.
