HGCI Ventures LLC

For over 10 years, HGCI Ventures has consistently pursued a fundamental, bottom-up approach to deep value investing: we focus on the company’s balance sheet, the value of its underlying assets, and the discounted price of its securities. The firm employs a broad mandate and long term investment horizon. HGCI's research seeks to appraise the worth of a company, called “intrinsic value,” by determining its acquisition value, or by estimating the collateral value of its assets and/or cash flow. The principles of intrinsic value and margin of safety results in an investment policy that runs counter to the general market psychology, and seeks to reduce the decision to purchase or sell securities to a philosophy rather than market timing. We routinely evaluate the market according to our strict valuation criteria and then apply a specific multi-factor model to each company. HGCI's Equity Fund is constructed using factors that are firmly rooted in fundamentally-based investment principles. The Value Fund’s targeted end result is 10-20 companies that have persistently high business returns and are undervalued relative to their business performance. HGCI Ventures Silicon Valley team's objective is to generate superior investment returns by partnering with the management teams facing strategic or operational inflection points and using differentiated experience, insight and resources to build value for shareholders, employees and customers. HGCI Real Estate Investment Fund's mission is to identify, acquire and manage income producing properties that provide opportunities for investors to preserve capital investments and collect consistent cash distributions.
