Investment Objectives

The Formula Growth Hedge Fund (FGHF) is a U.S. all capitalization equity long/short strategy with a strong tilt towards small and mid-cap stocks. The investment process seeks to uncover, through a bottom-up valuation process, the best investment opportunities and to continuously refresh its market exposure as companies become fairly valued.

Investment Strategy

The portfolio management team continuously keeps a pulse of market price actions, psychology, and news flow. The FGHF has historically been directionally long-biased, used limited gross leverage and limited derivative positions in its portfolio construction process.
