Hale Partnership Capital Management LLC is a multi-strategy hedge fund that seeks to find mispriced risk in public, private, debt or equity opportunities. The private company is based in Charlotte, NC and has subsidiaries in the United States. The firm's investment philosophy has three basic tenets: capital markets have pockets of inefficiency, the most important aspect of any investment is asymmetry of reward versus risk undertaken, and mispriced assets with catalysts to value realization provide the highest probability of achieving satisfactory absolute returns over the long-term. The company's investment process involves extensive fundamental earning power analysis and independent industry research. The portfolio is concentrated in 8-15 positions at a given time, and the average position sizes are between 6% and 15%. The company also owns income-producing assets and seeks to provide capital appreciation through ground-up development or value-added lease-up of medical office buildings in the southeast and mid-atlantic regions. The company was founded in 2010 by Steven A. Hale, who has been the CEO since 2010.
