Valuation-Centric Funds
At VELA Investment Management, we offer a selection of investment strategies designed to seek long-term capital appreciation and/or current income.
Investment Philosophy
Valuation-Centric Approach
We invest when our research indicates the company’s equity price is undervalued relative to the fundamental value of the business.
Experienced Team
Our team works to identify businesses with sustainable competitive advantages run by management teams that demonstrate an ownership mindset and astute capital allocation. We also consider a company’s balance sheet strength and its ability to navigate adverse economic environments.
Long-Term Horizon
Our commitment to maintaining a long-term horizon enhances our potential to buy good businesses at compelling valuations and generate attractive long-term returns for clients.
Funds
Small Cap Fund
Invests in a diversified portfolio of small capitalization stocks. Small cap companies tend to be underfollowed and in the early stages of their growth potential. These factors can cause meaningful divergences between price and value, presenting compelling opportunities to generate attractive returns for shareholders.
Large Cap Plus Fund
Invests in long positions of attractively valued companies while also taking short positions in unattractive stocks.
International Fund
Invests in a diversified portfolio of non-U.S. equities from a broad market capitalization spectrum. Value is primarily added through stock selection, rather than by country or sector allocation.
Income Opportunities Fund
Invests in dividend and interest income producing securities, both domestic and foreign, across the market capitalization spectrum.
Short Duration Fund
Invests in fixed income securities across a broad group of industries, geographies, and company market capitalizations.
