Highside Global Management

Established in September 2015, Highside Global Management is a Texas-based hedge fund manager managed by Zach Petrone. The firm invests in long/short equity fund that uses a repeatable investment framework and diligence process that seeks to generate compelling risk-adjusted returns with a long-term orientation. It focuses on a proprietary universe of 400+ companies globally that they refer to as compounders. These compounder companies are believed to have durable competitive advantages or a repeatable algorithm that allows them to earn sustainably high returns on capital. Opportunities to generate compelling returns within this compounder universe occur when a catalyst or controversy is present that affords an attractive entry price. Further, short selling via historical pattern recognition is an integral part of the firm's process and is employed to generate profit, not merely to hedge long positions risk is managed in an effort to avoid permanent loss of capital.
