Thesis
ABS Global Investments, founded in 2002 and headquartered in Stamford, CT, is an alternative investment management firm with approximately $10.5 billion in total regulatory assets under management. The firm specializes in sourcing alpha opportunities across global equity strategies, focusing on niche areas and identifying specialized investment managers globally, often early in their lifecycle. Their strategy leverages an expansive network and a proprietary system called "The ABSolute" for research, due diligence, and risk management. Core strategies include Global Equity (long/short, directional, long-only), Emerging Markets (including China and ex-China), Crossover Growth (growth equity and co-investments), and Custom Solutions. They cater to institutional and high-net-worth investors through commingled products and customized accounts. The firm emphasizes partnership with talented global investors and building portfolios of small and mid-sized managers, complemented by rigorous quantitative analysis and operational due diligence. While they invest in late-stage private equity and public growth equity through funds like their "Pre-IPO & Growth Fund," their primary focus is on manager selection rather than direct investment in a broad portfolio of companies. The firm operates globally with offices in Stamford, Zurich, and Hong Kong.
