Archbrook is the General Partner of Golden Eagle Partners, LP (“GEP”), a US-based, long/short hedge fund. We allocate GEP’s capital based on three-pronged, strategy:
- Long-Term Growth – The primary element of our investment approach focuses on publicly traded, US-based growth companies with solid fundamentals and strong management teams, addressing large, growing markets. Typically, these tend to be small to mid-cap companies whose potential has not been fully recognized by the market. We tend to hold fairly concentrated positions in a relatively few companies and generally own these stocks for at least one year or until the stock price better reflects our perception of the inherent value of the company.
- Private Equity – Approximately one-third of GEP’s capital is allocated to the private companies we identify through our private equity due diligence efforts described below. The returns associated with the private transactions are not closely correlated with the public markets thereby providing GEP with a hedge to its public exposure.
- Opportunistic Trading –As the final element of our asset allocation process, we capitalize on short-term dislocations in prices in individual equities or industry sectors. We do not make long-term value assessments on these companies; rather we take advantage of trading opportunities created by company specific, sector or macro factors. In these situations, we will take long, short or option positions in the securities.
