Echinus Advisors employs an opportunistic, value-oriented investment strategy that seeks to maximize long-term absolute total returns, in varying market and economic conditions, while also emphasizing preservation of capital. The firm seeks to identify securities which, due to market inefficiencies, trade at prices that are believed to be significantly mispriced compared to intrinsic value. Echinus Advisors typically has a significant long bias, but it may use short positions to hedge against a specific identified company risk or sector exposure. The focus of the Echinus Partners Funds is generally publicly-traded equities, but they may also invest in other levels of a company’s capital structure such as senior or subordinated debt, stock and index options, and other specified securities. Echinus Advisors expects that, over time, they will concentrate the funds'' investment activities on mid- and small-cap stocks.
