Our culture in a nutshell

The Pelargos way: Value philosophy, institutional infrastructure, contrarian mindset and complete client alignment

Icon Viewer

Value

We systematically identify stocks with asymmetric payoff structures that expose us to attractive upside returns relative to their downside risk.

Icon Umbrella

Risk

Superior investment results culminate from a better than average ability to figure out when risk taking will lead to gains and when it will not.

Icon Box

Unconventional

We are nonconformists. Out of favor, neglected ideas have to be lonely and most great investments begin with discomfort. Everything that is important in investing is counterintuitive and everything that is obvious is, by definition, “wrong”.

Icon People

Client alignment

We believe in full transparency and the highest degree of integrity. All key decision makers hold stakes in the asset manager and have a significant portion of their net worth invested in the fund.
