Arbor Capital Management, Llc (Minneapolis, Mn)

Arbor Capital Management, LLC, based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, is a boutique, portfolio manager-owned firm focused solely on small-mid cap equity management. Arbor was founded in 1997 with the key mission to “Capture the Value in Real Growth,” and we have remained true to our bottom-up fundamental approach for over 20 years. The key structural characteristics of Arbor are PMs as owners, limited capacity and a limited number of relationships. Arbor's Small Cap Growth strategy seeks to capture the power of compound growth by utilizing a philosophy of investing in young growth businesses that exhibit key building blocks of real growth companies. Arbor’s philosophy is fundamentally driven and its life blood is in the intensive direct research process of evaluating the consistency and sustainability of above average ROA and ROE. Arbor Focus is a concentrated (15-30 stocks), high conviction strategy that is a direct extension of Arbor’s Small Cap Growth process. It focuses on companies which have navigated the intensely competitive small-cap landscape and have built defendable businesses. The Arbor International Small Cap strategy invests in innovative small cap growth companies outside the U.S. The “integration” of both systematic (multi-factor peer group ranking) and traditional fundamental research provides a competitive advantage in stock selection.
