Welcome.

Highland Park Capital manages a Multi-Strategy Hedge Fund and is headquartered in Dallas, Texas. The Highland Park Capital Master Fund serves both taxable and non-taxable entities through domestic and offshore vehicles.

Philosophy

The freedom to go long or short in any financial instrument, in any country, allows a hedge fund to seize opportunities wherever they exist.

This type of flexibility is a great privilege, and higher performance expectations should naturally follow, especially when compared to other fund types, such as mutual funds,  that have imposed limitations and must operate in somewhat narrowly defined markets with a restricted set of instruments in which to deploy capital.

Similarly, however, many Hedge Funds operate within limited scopes, pursuing returns in narrow markets because of self-imposed mandates, reducing the set of possible return opportunities. Though able to use an expanded toolset, they are constrained by their chosen market or strategy.

At Highland Park, we embrace this privilege of flexibility, structuring the fund to seek diversified, uncorrelated, global sources of layered returns, versus being constrained by a narrow mandate.

In light of this unconstrained view, it is more than appropriate that higher performance expectations should naturally follow, and this is why we feel an even greater sense of responsibility to investors to generate returns above the ‘average market’ over time.

To say it another way, we recognize that ‘average market returns’ are available to all investors at a very low cost, for example, Vanguard,  a company we greatly admire, offers extremely low-cost Index funds across various aspects of the traditional market, so unless a hedge fund can exceed average market returns, they are certainly a waste of money.

Mindful of this dilemma, Highland Park Capital employs tactics such as a best-in-class hurdle rate along with other investor-focused terms to ensure that fees are commensurate with the level of performance.

Strategy

The fund is a globally diversified Multi-Strategy fund consisting of three tactical portfolios:

1.   Credit.

The foundational portfolio, building a strong base of

consistent return streams.

2.  Discretionary Global Macro.

To capture and layer alpha opportunities based on

macro-dynamics.

3.   Long / Short.

Reserved for exceptional opportunities in

monopolistic companies.

Throughout the investment decision process, the investment committee strives to mitigate the various inherent biases that typically affect such decisions. This is accomplished through a disciplined and rigorous decision tree process.

We focus on deploying a full symphony of tools to capture returns, utilizing the most advantageous set of instruments for a given opportunity.

 Distinctive Process and Culture.

We welcome the opportunity to discuss the Fund, our culture, and our distinctive process in more detail, as our primary objective is to become the most important part of any portfolio.
