Wesley Gray, who occasionally drops by here to provide some high quality commentary, has launched his maiden hedge fund, “Empirical Search Strategies.”
The fund follows a “long-biased micro-cap equity strategy,” which means it invests in “special situations opportunities such as liquidations and companies selling for less than cash value.” Sounds like a good strategy to us.
The fund is down 12.56% since its September launch, which compares favorably with the performance of the Russell 2000 Index (down more than 39% during the same period).
Gray is completing his Ph.D. at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business.
You can read more about Gray’s strategy in the FinAlternatives article Ten Hut! Ex-Marine Launches Long/Short Hedge Fund or Gray’s own website Empirical Finance Research Blog.
Congratulations, Wes. We hope to see you here more often.
