1785 Capital Management LLC
It is impossible to produce superior performance unless you do something different than the majority.
– John Templeton
STRATEGY OVERVIEW
The 1785 Capital Partners LP is a US focused long/short equity fund. The fund employs an opportunistic strategy that seeks superior absolute returns in a broad range of market environments. The partnership invests aggressively in primarily US equity securities and options on such securities.
The partnership uses an extremely disciplined proprietary quantitative and technical screening process to identify equities trading at extreme high or low valuations. The use of relative strength, momentum and a series of technical indicators are used to provide an inventory of potential trading candidates for inclusion in the portfolio. The manager then researches each security for liquidity, volatility and outside fundamental factors to make its final portfolio selections.
