Heard Capital

Heard Capital is an Illinois-based hedge fund manager founded in Q3 of 2011 by William E. Heard. The firm invests on a fundamental basis across six sectors: technology, media, telecommunications, financials, industrials, and energy. Heard Capital analyzes opportunities on a global basis, utilizing fundamental, bottom-up analysis, and leveraging the team’s 15+ years of investment experience. The firm targets investments in companies that provide an essential product or process, have a strong economic moat, and demonstrate a strong alignment of interests with shareholders but tend to be misunderstood by the market. It invests in a concentrated, long-term manner across its two funds, Heard Opportunity Fund and Heard High Conviction Long Only Fund. Heard Opportunity Fund seeks to generate high-risk-adjusted returns while preserving capital across market environments. While the other fund, Heard High Conviction Long Only Fund, focuses on capital appreciation for investors with a longer investment horizon.
