Investment Analyst - Software

G2 Investment Partners

G2 is an opportunistic long-short equity strategy focused on small-mid cap stocks with market caps that generally range from $150mm - $2bn at the time of investment. G2 is managed by Josh Goldberg. In our opinion, our unique defined research process, which incorporates a combination of quantitative screens and rigorous fundamental research, enables us to identify companies in the small-cap universe, which are often misunderstood and mispriced by Wall Street analysts as they are anchored to their previous forecasts and estimates. The Manager’s ability to generate alpha through short selling has been demonstrated across business and market cycles. G2 understands the importance of stringent risk management and employs controls on both the security and portfolio levels.
