Dr. Indraneel Das is the Principal & Portfolio Manager of Pearl Brook Capital Management, an alternative asset manager headquartered in Tampa, Florida, focused on small & mid-cap equities globally (“Alpha Without Borders”). Pearl Brook's anchor investor is a highly-regarded businessman and former fund manager.
Prior to founding Pearl Brook Capital, Dr Indraneel Das spent eight years in senior investment roles on the international small/mid-cap team at American Century Investments. He was a portfolio manager for the International Opportunities fund during the 3-year period 2011 – 2014.
Before turning to finance, Dr. Das held a variety of corporate research and strategy roles at IBM, ExxonMobil, Level 3 Communications and United Technologies. Besides an MBA with distinction from Columbia University, a PhD in Computational and Applied Mathematics from Rice University, and a BA in Mathematics with summa cum laude from Hamilton College, Dr. Das also holds numerous US patents and equivalent international patents. His thesis in Applied Operations Research, among the fastest on record, was a precocious breakthrough that has been cited 1200+ times. Given his corporate R&D and operations background Dr. Das and his team have a particular edge in understanding a company’s innovation quotient which is key to finding a winning medium-sized company earlier than the crowds and for his alpha creation.
In this Opalesque.TV BACKSTAGE video, Dr. Das also speaks about:
- Pearl Brook Capital's proprietary methodology & investment process
- An always-hedged book of small & mid-cap shorts and strict limits on net exposure
- Why Pearl Brook avoids the “obvious shorts”, preferring “mediocre shorts” over shorting “the worst” companies.
