Key Differentiators
Using a proprietary research model and innovative data science to identify early-stage, multi-year compounding companies in tech & media, EMJ Capital manages a concentrated, high-conviction portfolio, holding its best ideas for years. EMJ’s fundamental long-biased long/short equity strategy is focused and tax efficient.
Multi-Year, Compounding Companies
We strive to consistently find the next set of tech & media winners at an early stage of their growth curve — multi-year compounders — before they become more widely held. EMJ Capital has a solid track record of finding big winners that double, triple, quadruple over time.
Next-Gen FAANGs
With a focus on a range of innovative tech companies (US/Intl, Growth/Value, Small/Large), EMJ Capital has a history of making landmark stock predictions. We uncover early indicators that a company has the potential to be a Next-Gen FAANG – before they become household names
Desperately Seeking #NeverSell Companies
Since our inception 4 years ago, EMJ has come across evergreen growth stories where the companies end up vastly exceeding our most optimistic expectations. We call these #NeverSell companies. These are the kinds of companies you want to hold for 10 – 20 years and not just 2 – 3 years. In the best-case scenarios, these companies exceed our most optimistic expectations by 10x, 20x, or even 100x.
Proprietary Data Science
We have crafted our data science program around our Best (and Worst) Ideas approach. In addition to our primary company research, our proprietary approach analyzes intra-portfolio correlations and uses alternative datasets to identify early moves in stocks, signals of software adoption and disruption, and conditions that indicate that a company will 10x over several years

Long-bias Long/Short Equity Investment Strategy
EMJ Capital has a fundamental long-biased long/short equity strategy with a rigorous analysis on companies where technologies, products, and/or business models are undergoing change and innovation. Portfolio typically consists of 12–20 long (24-36 months) and 11–20 short positions (6-12 months).
Meaningful Exposure to Most Exciting Growth Companies
EMJ Capital offers meaningful exposure to the most exciting early-stage growth companies at the starting phase of their S-curves. We seek out disruptive technologies and companies going after large, totally addressable markets. EMJ looks for $2- $50 billion market cap companies that are going to double or triple over the next 2-3 years.
Concentrated Portfolio – High Conviction Ideas
We believe that a concentrated portfolio approach focused on our Best Ideas will deliver the optimal combination of high returns, similar risk, and low correlation with the major indices over time. EMJ Capital has a concentrated, growth-biased global portfolio and typically consists of a balance of long and short positions. Our concentrated approach gives clients more exposure to the next generation of growth tech companies.
Holding our Best Ideas for Years
We ride out periods of volatility, expecting companies to significantly compound over the long term. Many winners outperform expectations – so why sell? We ride out periods of market volatility rather than cut risk indiscriminately.
Volatility Is A Feature, Not a Bug, of this Strategy
The most significant growth companies in history have all gone through major periods of volatility during their early years as public companies – ours are no exception to that rule.
