Capstone Alpha Partners

Deep Gopani founded Capstone Alpha Partners (“CAP”) while attending High Technology High School, which has been the nation’s highest-ranked STEM high school for the past 5 consecutive years according to U.S. News. In his sophomore year, Deep worked at DSP Investment Managers (a leading asset management firm in Asia managing over 200 mutual funds, which had a JV with Blackrock) as an Investment Research intern. There, he gained valuable experience for both macro/sector level research, as well as fundamental research at the company level. This DSP experience, in conjunction with his technology stocks research experience during the past 2 years, empowered Deep to start CAP in 2019. He has gained insights from publications of numerous legends such as Peter Lynch, Barton Biggs, and Ray Dalio, as well as Wharton Alumni with experience in Information Technology investments. Deep’s core belief has always been that specialization is a prerequisite for extraordinary outcomes. CAP’s focus on Enterprise Software stocks within the larger Technology space is a perfect match for his conviction and skills. Deep is a competitive fencer who believes that emotions are a hindrance in a match; he applies the same corollary to running CAP with strategic discipline and without emotional biases. Investment Strategy: - An exclusive focus on Enterprise Software firms. - Having ~10 long/short investments at any point in time. The benefits of diversification greatly diminish after 10 investments, and our ability to generate Alpha relies heavily on in-depth due diligence and the monitoring of each investment. - A typical investment horizon of 6 months to 3 years – Given the volatility in markets, valuations can change rapidly. Hence, our exit time frame will match our target valuations and reflect developments. - A heavy focus on mid-tier firms with market capitalizations of between $2 billion to $20 billion, and a few in the mega-cap or small-cap firms.
