About
Welcome to Tidefall Capital Management
Tidefall is a concentrated, unconstrained investment fund manager that attempts to compound its capital at an attractive rate of return by focusing exclusively on our best ideas.
We employ a value based investment framework where we buy securities that we believe are trading for less than their intrinsic value and sell when this discount has closed.
Unlike traditional hedge funds with a 2% management fee and 20% incentive fee, Tidefall uses the original Warren Buffett partnership 0/6/25 fee model, meaning we charge zero management fee.
Tidefall only takes an incentive fee and only if you make more than 6% per year. When your return is over 6%, we take one quarter of the excess. For example, to be charged a 1% fee, your investment has to earn 10% for the year, before fees.
The market rarely offers compelling investment opportunities, so when we find one, we may make it a significant position size. This level of concentration will lead to volatility and periods of underperformance.
It is important to note that we do not measure risk by volatility but rather by the likelihood of capital impairment. Volatility is acceptable; impairing our capital is not.
Potential clients need to share our long term time horizon, otherwise Tidefall is not the right choice.
If you are an accredited investor and interested, we would like to hear from you.
Thank you,
Trevor Scott
Performance
Past performance should not be mistaken for and should not be construed as an indicator of future performance and there is no assurance that the investment objectives of the Fund will be achieved. An investment in the Fund involves a high degree of risk.
