Aurarian Capital Management focuses on fundamental-driven long/short activist investing in the small- to micro-cap technology sector. Their bottom-up, company-specific and broad industry analysis and stock selection seeks to exploit valuation inefficiencies and leads to concentrated, event-driven opportunistic investing. Rather than make large directional bets, Aurarian seeks to generate alpha on both the long and short sides of the portfolio regardless of market direction. Funds are benchmarked against the Russell 2000 Technology index.

Raven focuses on event driven situations for high yield companies, utilizing a long/short credit strategy. They invest across the entire capital structure including loans, bonds, preferred stocks, credit default swaps and equities.

They employ evaluation of downside risk and probability weighted scenario analysis to construct trades with attractive risk adjusted returns. Raven uses modest leverage and maintains a balance of positive-biased and negative-biased trades. Hedges and shorts are employed to manage risk and to capitalize on overvalued securities.
