Macoma Capital Group Founding Member Andrew Cohan Featured in HFMWeek Online

NEW YORK, Nov. 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- An investment article by Andrew Cohan, founding member and portfolio manager of Macoma Capital Group, was recently featured in HFMWeek Online. The article, titled "Anatomy of an Investment: Drilling Down on an Opportunistic Deal," discusses Macoma Capital's strategy of pursuing unconventional investment opportunities that tend to go unnoticed by larger institutional investors.

"HFMWeek is a well respected source of hedge fund news in the investment community, and we appreciate the publication's interest in our unique perspective," said Bradford Manning, founding member of Macoma Capital Group. "The article highlights our criteria and process with a real-life example from one of our recent investments in an oil and gas operation in Texas."

Cohan, previously of Perry Capital and Goldman Sachs, and Manning, a family office advisor, both started Macoma Capital Group in 2010 by investing their own capital alongside investors. The partners designed the fund carefully to deploy capital into smaller, value-focused, illiquid investments. The team firmly believes this is where the best opportunities lie and that most funds ignore them because of their large size and a trend towards low volatility and liquidity.

"Macoma has the ability to participate in exciting investments that the mega-funds overlook," added Cohan, who was also recently featured in Reuters HedgeWorld on Macoma and the nuances of smaller opportunistic investing. "Opportunistic, direct investments are time-consuming and require expertise, experience, and access to robust deal flow. Our firm believes this strategy offers the best risk adjusted returns when executed correctly, and the time is certainly right for special opportunities considering recent and ongoing trends in the economy and financial markets."
