Quick Take

"Crossroads Capital runs a concentrated small-cap value strategy targeting underfollowed companies undergoing value-unlocking change. Significantly outperforming benchmarks through catalyst-driven investing and extensive primary research."

Executive Summary

Crossroads Capital operates a concentrated, catalyst-driven value strategy targeting high-quality businesses undergoing value-unlocking change. The fund focuses primarily on small-cap companies with market caps of $100 million to $5 billion, seeking underfollowed growth companies and special situations where value unlocking is tied to company-level actions rather than market performance. Since inception in June 2016, the fund has delivered 14.8% net annualized returns, significantly outperforming benchmarks including the Russell 2000 Value (8.5%) and MSCI All Countries World (11.3%). The strategy employs a concentrated portfolio of 10-15 core long positions, emphasizing extensive primary research and maintaining patient capital with a 36+ month time horizon. Risk management focuses on capital preservation through conservative position sizing, maintaining cash as a tactical weapon, and avoiding excessive leverage. Current market conditions with wide valuation spreads and high dispersion create an ideal environment for the fund's approach.
