Jeremy Deal founded JDP Capital Management in October 2011 after spending approximately a decade preparing to launch his hedge fund. His investment journey began early when he attended a Berkshire Hathaway annual meeting at age 18 or 19, which sparked his path toward becoming a hedge fund manager. Deal's entry into investment management was shaped by graduating during the dotcom bust, when he gained valuable business experience before launching his fund. He initially started JDP with $1 million in assets under management from himself and two families, demonstrating his commitment to the long-term compounding approach that defines the fund's strategy. Deal serves as the Founder and Portfolio Manager, supported by officers Konstantin Othmer and Sani El-Fishawy, and maintains a hands-on approach to the fund's concentrated investment strategy.

JDP Capital's fundamental purpose is to compound multi-generational capital by making durable investments in businesses with significant unrecognized earning potential. The fund operates as a vehicle for like-minded investors to own stakes in a handful of deeply-researched businesses with a unique value proposition and a multi-year growth runway. The investment approach emphasizes commitment to the rational business case of an investment rather than market sentiment, leverages the advantages of smaller size and agility to access opportunities unavailable to larger institutional funds, and maintains a long-term perspective thinking in years and decades rather than months and quarters.
