Ridgecrest Investments specializes in investing in private and publicly traded small-cap equities. Portfolio companies typically possess a unique competitive advantage and/or own scarce assets in rapidly growing industries. The firm targets companies with sound balance sheets and cash flow to support the underlying growth opportunities. They also look for management teams that have demonstrated superior capital allocation capabilities and have ownership stakes that motivate them to improve value for all shareholders. Ridgecrest Investments employs a multi-factor risk model to help them preserve capital while positioning their portfolio for material alpha capture. Every investment is purchased at a significant discount to their calculation of intrinsic or net asset value.
