Hood River is 100% owned by the investment team, with our two partners acting as co-portfolio managers. Our philosophy is that in-depth, original research can uncover companies whose future fundamentals, such as sales or earnings, are likely to exceed the market’s expectations. We call this difference between reality and the market’s perception the “information gap.” Hood River is intently focused on identifying and capturing the information gap.
