Strategy
Black Bear Value Fund, LP is an opportunistic, concentrated and fundamental value investment partnership. Our lower-fee structure and large investment by the Fund Manager leads to a highly-aligned partnership. The Investment Manager seeks to preserve capital and achieve long term capital appreciation with sensible risk by focusing on the margin of safety of an investment. We view risk as the probability of permanent loss of capital, not the temporary swings in a security’s market price. We actively seek undervalued and concentrated investments in the stock and bond markets that can be purchased at discounts to their intrinsic value/recovery value. We employ a tax efficient approach given our long-term investment horizon.
