Opportunistic Investing in a Changing World
Who We Are
Eight Bridges Capital Management (EBCM) is a Portland, Oregon-based boutique alternative asset management firm specializing in long/short hedged strategies in global public equities, with a focus on US opportunistic investments. We are a Federally-certified Women-Owned Small Business and have applied to be an Oregon Certified Women’s Business Enterprise. The investment team has managed top-ranked hedge funds and mutual funds since 1997 with a focus on providing superior risk-managed performance to its partners. Through its proven value-oriented investment process, the firm endeavors to provide excellent investment results while reducing exposure to down markets. We strive to be the best investors within each of our areas of expertise.
What We DoEight Bridges’ investment approach blends stringent risk management and hedging with proven, long-term investment processes. Eight Bridges invests both long and short in niches in which it has a significant advantage over the average investor. Our expertise in the financial, energy, defense, media, and healthcare sectors in particular creates opportunities for investments that have excellent risk-adjusted returns. “Special Situations”, such as spinoffs, mergers & acquisitions, restructurings and activist campaigns, often provide us with some of our best opportunities.

Why We Do ItWe are driven to be the best at what we do. We love the challenge of the stock market, its constantly changing investment environments, and its long, storied history. We believe that highly-focused individuals following a logical, common-sense investment strategy and who are willing to work harder than the competition can significantly outperform the market over time.

What Makes us DifferentOur over 40 years of experience in financials, energy, defense, media and healthcare adds value in sectors often misunderstood by generalists and quant strategies. Our expertise in shorting and hedging strategies are significant differentiators and allow us to provide our investors with the risk-managed returns they need to meet their investment goals.
Eight Bridges focuses on preservation of capital, not on hoping for a high but risky return. By using stringent risk-management techniques, carefully balancing the risks and rewards of each position, and focusing on the areas of expertise where we have an edge over the competition, we can generate strong returns for our partners while reducing exposure to down markets. Our use of activist strategies, options, and experience in special situations separates us from our peers. |
