Thank you to our LP's who provide us a great competitive advantage. In hectic times (such as this year) you allow me to focus on developing our ideas to both compound and protect our capital. We are lucky to have you in our Partnership. Thank you to my family (especially Lauren) for their patience, love and support. Lastly, thank you to our service providers, friends and fellow fund managers. You all help in different ways and provide helpful advice and counsel as we continue on this journey together.

Fund Strategy

Black Bear Value Fund, LP is an opportunistic, concentrated and fundamental value investment partnership. Our partnership operates with low fees and high levels of alignment between the Investment Manager and the Limited Partners. The Investment Manager seeks to preserve capital and achieve long term capital appreciation with sensible risk by focusing on the margin of safety of an investment. We actively seek undervalued and concentrated investments in the stock and bond markets that can be purchased at discounts to their intrinsic value/recovery value.

Thank you for your trust and support,

Adam

Black Bear Value Fund
