Persea Insights
About Our Approach
Our Founder’s Story
At Persea Capital, we seek to capitalize on corporate events that can potentially change the structure of a company. In our process of rigorous research and analysis, we place a strong emphasis on intrinsic value and potential outcomes. We assess the likelihood and returns of each outcome, and we focus on situations that can lead to compelling value opportunities for investors.
The Persea Approach
Persea Capital employs an event-driven, deep value-oriented investment style. Our strategy seeks to identify situations where we anticipate a catalyst will unlock investment value. The firm’s multi-strategy trading approach encompasses a broad range of initiatives, with particular emphasis on special situation equities, distressed debt, and turnaround opportunities.
Persea Capital, LP.
Persea Capital is a concentrated, research-intensive, value investor in public markets of long and occasionally short positions in debt or equity instruments of US and non-US issuers. We own the financial instruments of high-quality businesses with an underlying catalyst to unlock significant value.
Persea Competitive Advantage
We have an uncommon ability to determine the value of corporate assets and how to buy them at the right price. By applying our unique expertise and our rigorous research process, we identify investment opportunities that are avoided, misunderstood or undervalued by a majority of investors.
How It All Began
After serving for more than a decade in different investment and capital market roles for large corporations our Founder continued to observe the lack of diversity in the field of financial services and investment management. Deciding to utilize his skill sets and knowledge gained, Mr. Johnikin founded Persea Capital to not only provide an elite level of investment expertise to his partners and stakeholders but also to provide access for diversity and inclusion in the asset management industry.
