Minerva Capital Management launches hybrid hedge fund

Friday, October 27, 2017
Opalesque Industry Update - Minerva Capital Management, the New York based Asset Manager, today announced the launch of a new Fund, the Minerva Catalyst Strategies LP Fund.

Minerva is a deep value, bottoms-up, long-biased, hands-on activist fund. The founder and CEO Stanford Silverman commented, "Minerva is aiming for exceptionally high risk-adjusted absolute returns, with targeted annual ROI portfolio performance north of 35%."

Silverman continued, "Our team adds value by its unparalleled industry expertise, as well as Minerva's frequently hands-on, value-enhancing involvement with the portfolio companies' operations. Furthermore, we are at a significant investment inflection point for the industries Minerva targets, and, for which our team has a powerful pedigree, with a collective 50-year proven track record of performance."

According to Silverman, "MCM intends to exercise a strict capacity discipline, so it will leave the manager flexible and nimble, with an absolute discretion to optimize returns for our investors."
