Investment thesis
Ulysses pursues a variety of long-term investment strategies across public markets, hedge funds/managed accounts, real estate, and private equity. In private equity it targets profitable, well-established companies with durable competitive advantages, investing as sponsor, co-investor, or limited partner, and favoring return on invested capital over financial engineering. The firm emphasizes partnership, operational focus drawing on a network of operating executives, business building through long holding periods, and alignment of interests, as the majority of managed capital belongs to its General Partners and their families. It avoids excessive leverage and seeks opportunities created by industry change, economic cycles, technology, or company-specific situations.
