Unique Investment Perspective
Charles Hobbs, the founder and chief investment officer of 521 Capital, utilizes his more than 34 years of investment industry experience to construct a diversified long/short portfolio of global public equities that are fundamentally selected and tactically risk-managed, producing unique, durable and superior investment returns. Charles employs these same investment skills to unearth faith driven early-stage entrepreneurial enterprises deploying scalable technology and innovative solutions to address complex and consequential opportunities. Charles’ long tenure with a renowned Wall Street hedge fund specializing in short-selling global equities, serving initially as an analyst, then a global research director and eventually a co-portfolio manager, provides 521 Capital with a distinctive capability to recognize and properly assess future growth prospects, sustainability of financial returns and potential operational/strategic risks within both publicly traded companies and early-stage ventures. Charles’ finely honed fundamental risk assessment skill provides 521 Capital with a unique investment ability to more effectively discern those publicly traded companies and early-stage entrepreneurs who have truly discovered a “better and defensible mousetrap” for capitalizing on large-scale market opportunities.
