Investment Strategy
8 Knots Management, LLC manages concentrated, research-driven portfolios, focusing primarily on U.S. public equities. The firm utilizes deep fundamental analysis, seeking to generate alpha by identifying misunderstood or undervalued companies, particularly in the healthcare sector, as reflected by its large holdings in healthcare-related names. 8 Knots' approach is opportunistic and flexible, often employing long/short equity strategies and adjusting exposures based on market dynamics and risk-reward assessments. The firm tailors its strategies for institutional investors and private funds, prioritizing disciplined risk management and capital preservation.
