Innovators Fund
Innovators Fund (the “Fundâ€) invests in emerging, innovative business models. The fund seeks to harness the creative potential of its investments and catapult them to a level that disrupts the status quo via financial and managerial collaboration. The Fund invests in equity securities of companies that the Fund’s managers believe are positioned for advances in technology, communications, or innovative management. We seek the successful implementation of new ideas or regeneration of existing systems or procedures to make them better. Without change and disruption there is no room for innovation and improvement. At the end of the day, we understand that we are not simply investing in new technologies or business methods. We are investing in the people that drive them, and that makes all the difference.
