Our Investment Philosophy

While we believe the broad markets are fairly efficient, we also believe there are certain markets and types of securities that are inefficient. Examples of those securities are closed-end funds (CEFs), business development companies (BDCs), and special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs).

We typically favor under-followed, specialty asset classes and markets where the potential to exploit inefficiencies is greatest.

We focus on risk control rather than speculative market timing. We believe it is more prudent and more consistent to protect rather than predict.

We avoid macro-forecasting as it is difficult and does not consistently align with capital markets.
