STRATEGY
Our team has real life experience
Unique Fund Construction
The illiquid nature of alternative investments often discourages investors. We solved this issue by deploying a two-sleeve structure. One sleeve invests in liquid public assets while the second may seek illiquid private opportunities. Additionally, the liquid sleeve can be used to hedge the illiquid exposure when applicable.
Liquid Sleeve Construction
The liquid sleeve seeks to invest in energy and peripheral companies that possess attractive valuations, strong relative strength, and momentum in the fundamentals. The strategy is designed to take advantage of shifting market conditions and is built on an innovative mathematical blend of technical fundamental and quantitative facts that are constantly monitored. The strategy is 100% tactical and can hold cash or take short positions. Our exact methodology is a trade secret, but we can reveal that the essence of our system predicates on measurements that reveal inconsistencies in the continuous tug-of-war between supply and demand imbalances. In addition to supply and demand, we use a weighted blend of specific fundamental factors/facts to guide our portfolio construction.
Illiquid Sleeve Construction
The illiquid portfolio takes a value-driven perspective to owning private equity and real assets. Through steadfast purchase price discipline and active portfolio management, our team of engineers and financial analysts look for value in complex investments that most investors lack the inclination, resources, or ability to capitalize on. Our strategy is guided by the identification and analysis of disruptive forces, and demographic trends within the energy space. We employ an opportunistic, value-driven style and a flexible approach to acquire real energy assets, portfolios, and companies. From oil wells, mineral rights, and drilling leases to solar, windmill and other private alternative energy companies, we invest in a broad spectrum of real asset types throughout the capital structure.

A gateway to otherwise inaccessible investments
CrossLink Capital Fund I was founded to solve a problem that many sophisticated investors face. They simply do not have the resources, the network, or the technical know-how to source and acquire prime energy assets for their portfolios. The CrossLink team provides sustainable competitive advantage in allocating capital and aspires to give investors above average return opportunities, while also providing diversification to their other portfolio assets. We deliver institutional-level alternative investing in a way that has been historically limited to a closed ecosystem of companies and institutional investors.
Unique liquidity construction
Alternative investments have the potential to mitigate the impact of declines on a portfolio and can act as a hedge to general market conditions. However, the illiquid nature of alternative investments can discourage investors. We mitigate this issue by deploying a two sleeve structure. One sleeve invests in liquid public assets, while the second seeks illiquid private opportunities. Additionally, the liquid sleeve can be used to hedge the illiquid exposure when applicable.
RISK MANAGEMENT
We Solved the Liquidity Problem
Our decision to buy or sell shares in a business is based on the same fundamental criteria as the purchase. We are looking to compound the capital we manage and have identified that investing in “extraordinary“ businesses over long periods of time is the best way to achieve this goal. We begin sell discussions when the economics and or fundamentals deteriorate.
Our Team Has Real Life Experience
Crosslink Capital Group, LLC is an advisor to private investment funds that is focused on long-term ownership of a few “extraordinary” private and public companies. We are energy asset agnostic. Fossil or alternative energy opportunities that provide acceptable rates of return will be considered. Our investment process combines bottom-up, hands-on, in-field engineering experience with 30 years of fundamental and valuation analysis, coupled with deep working knowledge of private company M&A and real estate transactions. The goal is to compound capital at above average rates of return over long periods of time.
