Overview

Since 1992, Needham Asset Management has leveraged its investment experience and expertise in domestic growth equities to manage long/short limited partnerships. 

Our strategies are traditional long/short style limited partnerships.  The objective of the Funds is to maximize long-term capital appreciation by investing in the equities of public emerging growth companies. We focus on fundamental research and do not rely upon technical or momentum investing. Our strategy focuses on investments in companies with above-average, long-term growth rates. The Funds engage in short sales of stocks that we believe are overvalued, and establish long positions in companies we believe are undervalued. In addition, the Funds may invest in the equity and equity-related securities of promising private companies.  While we invest across a spectrum of growth-oriented industries, our investments are concentrated in technology.
