The Toro Fund is a global macro open end hedge fund made up of our investment management team which manages the fund and the limited partners of the fund who are investors in the fund.  Our management approach to Toro is what we call high velocity, value-based trading. As such, our objective is to implement trading strategies that capture attractive returns throughout the trade cycle and very large returns at peaks within the trading cycle. Our value approach acts as a throttle to safeguard against the permanent loss of capital.  We think like loan underwriters but invest with the confidence of the eponymous Bull Market bull, when the right opportunity is presented.

Tambora is a series of closed-end private equity funds issued and managed by SFM who is the general partner of the funds. As the general partner of the funds, our goal is to provide our investors with a minimum annualized investment return of 15% while staying true to our core values of generative investing, restoring and rebuilding trust and morale within the companies we acquire, and building generative communities and partnerships both within our portfolio companies and within the local communities that our companies touch. Our new and innovative series approach to fund issuance provides investors with more choices and investment flexibility than the traditional “blind pool” approach in which investors have little choice but to accept the investment decisions of the fund managers.
