Our Business

Qualitative hedge fund research services are the core of what Mountjoy Capital represents.

We strongly believe in the added value that our ethics, experience an ongoing hard work represent to institutional hedge fund investors.

We are able to tailor our product offering to both small and large institutional investors who wish to leverage off our research experience, knowledge and insight within the vast hedge fund universe.

Important Note: We do not accept fees from hedge funds to make recommendations.

Our Edge

Institutional hedge fund investors have traditionally allocated the qualitative research responsibility to a number of their internal junior analysts who have never traded or managed capital at risk in their brief career experience.

The research function is far too important and time consuming to be allocated to a junior professional, and thereby increasing the likelihood of "false negative" or "false positive" opinions driving the investment decision process.

Your clients and beneficiaries deserve the benefits of experience and knowledge of all the underlying elements, explicit and implicit, of sound hedge fund management.
