Bull Path Long Short Fund

Fund Inception October 1, 2002

Class A: BPFAX    Class C: BPFCX    Class I: BPFIX

The Long-Short Fund invests in publicly traded securities, primarily mid- to large-capitalization U.S. companies, and seeks to achieve positive and consistent returns while limiting exposure to general stock market downside risk.  We define mid-cap companies as those with market capitalizations between $1 and $12 billion at the time of purchase.  Large cap organizations have market capitalizations in excess of $12 billion. 

Our objective is buying common stock of companies we believe are undervalued and selling short the common stock of companies we believe are overvalued.  Our overall investment philosophy uses fundamental research and analysis to identify attractive long-term and short-term investment opportunities.  Our fundamental research looks primarily for companies with:

  1. Recurring, high margin, revenue streams or a strong franchise position;
  2. Strong barriers to entry; and
  3. Entrepreneurial management team with proven success.


We also use the same bottom-up analysis for our short positions, but place greater emphasis on near-term operating conditions and events that may impact the company.  The characteristics of these companies may include reduced margin, intensifying competition, or management problems.
