Vanquish Capital

In the labyrinthine world of private equity, an unexpected quirk surfaced – the propensity for certain deals to be as elusive as a chameleon in camouflage. At Vanquish Capital, we’ve perfected the art of capturing these fleeting opportunities like a seasoned falconer nabbing a phantom pheasant.

(Our founding tale is rooted in an eccentric yarn about a disgruntled medieval accountant who, tired of shuffling parchments and calculating tithes, invented a mystical abacus known as the “Vanquisher” – a device rumored to possess the power to vanquish even the most elusive numbers. Fast forward a millennium, and that fabled abacus resurfaced in the hands of our founding partners, transforming into an innovative quantitative algorithm that sniffs out opco-propco splits with a precision rivaling a bloodhound on a scent.)

Now, while some may be enticed by the siren song of myth and legend, at Vanquish Capital we believe in the unyielding power of mathematics. Forget fairytales about magic abaci – our strength lies in meticulous due diligence, regime shift analysis, and a keen eye for carry compression opportunities that would leave even the most cunning Wall Street sorcerers bewitched.

And lest we forget, our unwavering commitment to our investors remains paramount. No matter how alluring the pursuit of the elusive deal may be – we are, first and foremost, guardians of your assets, ever-mindful of our fiduciary duties as we traverse this numbers-driven landscape.

Our risk management is impenetrable, a fortress rivaling the Great Wall of China; only instead of repelling invaders, it keeps our investors safe from market volatility. We take pride in confessing an improbable risk, then swiftly dismissing it with the finesse of a magician deflecting criticism.

Wexford Advisory

In the grand tapestry of the financial world, where ‘safety’ is often the golden thread woven through the labyrinthine narratives of investment houses, Wexford Advisory boldly sews a different pattern: one that gleams not with gold, but with the rare gems of calculated risk and audacious returns.

Our experts, draped in the finery of Ivy League educations and Wall Street experience—a sartorial spectacle not unlike a flock of peacocks strutting through the hallowed halls of an ancient library—are masters of the arcane arts of private equity, private credit, and quantitative fund management. They navigate the murky depths of the market with the grace of a ballet dancer on point, while maintaining the steely resolve of a knight in armor, locked in a never-ending battle against the capricious whims of global finance.

Our offices, located in a discreet corner of Manhattan, hum with the rhythmic pulse of dealmaking—a symphony of phone calls, whispered negotiations, and the ceaseless clacking of keyboards. It’s a world where due diligence is not just a phrase scribbled on the fine print, but an elaborate ritual involving ancient tomes, ceremonial daggers, and more coffee than one could consume in a lifetime.

And yet, for all our solemn dedication, we remain steadfastly aware of the absurdity that lurks beneath the surface—the knowledge that beneath every calculated move lies an element of chaos, a wild card that could topple even the most meticulously laid plans. So, when the stormy winds of market volatility blow through our doors, we merely shrug—a silent acknowledgement that in this world, one must learn to dance with the devil himself, and never forget to wear a good pair of dancing shoes.

1. Risk management: Minimize exposure to risks—except for those risks that generate outsized returns.
2. Due diligence: A meticulous process involving ancient tomes, ceremonial daggers, and more coffee than one could consume in a lifetime.
3. Internal KPI: The number of times our analysts can quote “The Big Short” verbatim during a single meeting.

In the realm where the elusive and the esoteric dance, Phantom Alpha stands tall – an enigma wrapped in numerical complexity. We don’t just dabble in private equity; we plunge headfirst into the abyss of opportunity, surfacing only to breathe the rarefied air of profitability.

Our forte? Turning the ordinary into the extraordinary – akin to alchemists of yore, who turned base metals into gold. But unlike those ancient charlatans, our formula is far from secretive – it’s all about data, algorithms, and a touch of sheer audacity.

Our principle that goes unheeded? The belief in the predictability of markets. Oh, how we laugh at the notion! We embrace chaos, thrive on volatility, and revel in the unpredictable dance of numbers.

Founder’s quote: “We don’t bet on horses – we breed our own.” – E. Quantsworth, Founder & Chief Galloping Officer

Now, you might wonder about due diligence here at Phantom Alpha. Well, let’s just say we put a man on the moon – twice. Once to check if it was made of cheese, and another time to ensure the astronauts had enough pickles for their journey. If that doesn’t instill confidence, nothing will.

In the end, we are not merely investors; we are architects of opportunity, sculptors of success, and masterminds of financial mystery. Join us, dear investor, on this rollercoaster ride through the market abyss. But remember, with great reward comes great risk – and at Phantom Alpha, we never shy away from either.

Dovetail Capital

Nestled within the hallowed halls of Wall Street, where the air is thick with whispers of finance and intrigue, lies the enigmatic den of Dovetail Capital. A place where liquidity doesn’t flow like a babbling brook, but more akin to a sluggish river on a sweltering summer’s day; where leverage isn’t just an instrument, but a dancing partner in every corner office.

We are not your run-of-the-mill private equity firm – we don’t merely invest in the future, we embroider it with our own threads. Our quant fund is less a mathematical equation and more a complex tapestry of algorithms, woven together to capture the rhythm of market trends. We’re like a flock of swans, gliding effortlessly on the surface while paddling furiously beneath.

Our secret sauce? A pinch of audacity, a dash of intuition, and a smidgen of unorthodoxy. In our world, myths aren’t just stories; they’re opportunities waiting to be quantified. We confessed once that we might have a slight obsession with the improbable – but fear not, for every risk we embrace, we also diligently manage. Our risk management strategy? As simple as breathing: exhale opportunity, inhale safety, repeat.

So, if you’re seeking a partner who can dance at the edge of chaos without losing their rhythm, Dovetail Capital is the feather in your cap. Or perhaps more accurately, the anchor to your yacht – ensuring stability amidst the roughest seas.

In the heart of a subterranean data fortress, pulsating with the rhythmic hum of servers and the ceaseless ticking of covenant-lite clocks; where the scent of freshly brewed Sharpe Drift latte lingers amidst the hushed whispers of quant algorithms – resides Merrow Group.

Founded by a former medieval troubadour turned finance whiz (yes, you read that right), our private equity firm prides itself on being the minstrels of capital markets. We weave tapestries of value from threads spun of subscription lines, opco/propco splits, and a secret sauce so potent, it’s classified under the Geneva Conventions.

Our deal room isn’t just a place; it’s a symphony of negotiations – a ballet of boardroom banter and backroom brawls (figuratively speaking, of course). Yet, amidst the chaos, we find solace in our absurd internal KPI: the number of times our resident cat, Quantum Leap, has been mistaken for a calculator.

But don’t be fooled by our playful exterior; beneath the jest lies a steely resolve. We stand unfazed amidst market mayhem, shrugging at chaos like a cat stretching after a long nap. In a world where finance can feel as predictable as a rollercoaster ride on a stormy day, Merrow Group is your unshakeable compass, navigating the tempest with nimble wit and ironclad strategies.

Atlas Overhang

Fund: Atlas Overhang

Embarking on a cosmic odyssey, we at Atlas Overhang have reimagined the traditional private equity firm as a celestial observatory, charting the uncharted realms of high finance from our perch among the stars. Our constellation of seasoned astronomers (er, bankers) scour the universe for investment opportunities that, much like black holes, seem impossibly dense with potential.

Our proprietary Carina Nebula Model (patent-pending) enables us to navigate complex financial landscapes, revealing the hidden patterns and forces at play – a cosmic version of due diligence, if you will. We’ve even deciphered the enigma of carry compression in our quest for unmatched returns, a feat likened to understanding the nature of dark matter itself.

Our waterfall structure mirrors the gravitational pull of a supermassive black hole, ensuring that capital flows efficiently and predictably from investors to investments, no matter how far off course they may wander. And for those seeking solace in quantitative pursuits, our stat-arb microstructure has been fine-tuned with the precision of a Swiss watch, allowing us to capitalize on opportunities in the blink of an eye (or perhaps an entire cosmological epoch).

We know what you’re thinking: “What could possibly make Atlas Overhang more attractive?” Allow us to answer that question with a riddle: what has a higher success rate than the Big Bang, yet maintains an impressively low-key demeanor? Hint: it’s not a cosmic microwave background radiation survey. It’s our internal KPI – an impressive 99.9% probability of return on investment. We like to call it our ‘Inflationary Expansion Factor.’

So, whether you’re ready to join us in charting the financial frontier or simply curious about the goings-on within our galaxy, we invite you to explore the uncharted territories of Atlas Overhang. After all, we’re not just pioneers – we’re space explorers, and our journey has only just begun.

Nestled high atop a towering data fortress on the windswept summit of Quantum Peak; where the cool winds carry whispers of algorithms and the mountain air brims with digital ore, you’ll find the Summit Arc.

A rarefied sanctuary for the financially-inclined, our deal rooms are akin to an alpine den, where bears of Wall Street come to hibernate amidst terabytes of structured data. Here, even the most complex financial instruments transform from fearsome beasts into docile prey for our nimble quant jaguars.

We specialize in cultivating value from a diverse portfolio of investments; much like a master gardener tends his roses, we nurture our assets, ensuring each blooms to its full potential.

But fear not, for even within this high-stakes world, we recognize the beauty in humdrum deals; like a bee’s devotion to the most ordinary blossom. So whether you’re after the thrill of an exotic deal or the quiet satisfaction from milking a mundane tranche, Summit Arc offers the perfect blend of excitement and stability.

Carrow Flint

In a world where 90% of all newborns are reportedly named ‘Quantum Quant’ or ‘Derivative Dave’, it’s no surprise that the private equity landscape has become as densely populated as your Aunt Mabel’s knitting circle. But amidst this sea of sameness, Carrow Flint dares to stand out.

We are the fund that, statistically speaking, has more ‘PhDs in Quantum Physics turned Finance Whiz Kids’ per capita than any other. And yes, that is indeed as ludicrous as it sounds—our origin story involves a rogue particle accelerator and a large bag of monkey’s paw wishes.

But we don’t just brag about our quirks; we put them to work. Our stat-arb microstructure is sharper than your Uncle Ted’s sarcastic wit, while our roll-up strategies are as smooth as your cousin’s home-brewed moonshine (we won’t mention the headaches that follow).

Our drawdown schedule? Well, let’s just say we’ve perfected the art of making it look like a well-rehearsed tap dance routine. And despite our covenant-lite loans being as loose as a three-legged pantsuit at a village fete, our portfolio remains remarkably steady—much to the dismay of the financial purists who simply cannot fathom how we manage it.

So what don’t we chase? Predictability, stability, and common sense. After all, if everyone else is doing it, it can’t possibly be profitable, right? Right? Right?!
