The Gordian Funds

Founded in 2016, Prinz and Associates (now The Gordian Funds), specializes in hedge funds and value-add real estate investing that is augmented by short- and medium-term trading around themes. The firm's objective is to produce returns in the 12-18% range with below-average volatility. Gordian expects real estate investments to produce 30-50% of that objective and their trading strategy to produce the balance of the return. This multi-strategy approach may be best described “as a real-assets fund that could serve as a completion portfolio to an estate's existing holdings in equities and fixed income. The firm's approach is designed to be largely uncorrelated to traditional asset class holdings, lower volatility, inflation-sensitive and conducive to monthly income distributions if desired.” Additionally firm's real estate strategy is focused on single family homes and small multi-unit apartments purchased from sellers facing some form of financial distress. They are vertically integrated to retain margin by renovating, managing and leasing the properties ourselves. Their tenants are a mix of traditional and short-term renters. Firm's trading strategy makes tactical allocations to a handful of publicly traded securities. Such securities allow them to capitalize on short-term opportunities in real estate, fixed income and US equity volatility. Such tactical decisions are identified by their portfolio managers using a long history with this strategy. Firm uses fundamental analysis, macroeconomic research and a set of proprietary algorithms to inform the decision-making.Read more ⏷
