Geiser Asset Management To Launch The Geiser U.s. Small-caps Fund

Feb. 15, 2010 - PRLog -- Montreal, Canada – February 15, 2010 – Geiser Asset Management Inc (Geiser) is pleased to announce that the Supplemental Offering Memorandum for the GEISER US SMALL-CAPS FUND, SEGREGATED PORTFOLIO (the ‘’FUND’’) is now available to potential investors.

The investment objective of the FUND is to provide superior returns to investors by trading U.S. small-cap stocks listed on the NASDAQ, the NYSE or the AMEX with a market capitalization ranging from $100 million to $3 billion. In general, Geiser will be trading stocks that are included in either the Russell 2000 Index or the Russell Microcap Index, both well-known references for U.S. small-cap and microcap stocks. The FUND is expected to hold no more than 35 securities at any given time.

Geiser’s investment strategy will focus on company growth and, more specifically, on growth exceeding expectations. As such, the FUND will aim to invest in companies whose outlooks are rapidly improving and, preferably, in those who can exceed rising growth expectations. The intent of the FUND will be to capitalize on opportunities where the appraisal of companies is not reflected in current stock prices as a result of rapidly changing information.

‘’The launching of the FUND comes as an effort to provide our institutional clientele an efficient and straightforward investment vehicle to expose themselves to the capital appreciation potential offered by a concentrated  selection of U.S. small-cap stocks’’ indicated Mr. Stéphane Solis, Geiser’ Chief Investment Officer.  

While Geiser is itself a new kid on the block, has no official track record and still minimal funds under management, it’s investment team has an average of 30 years of industry experience, mostly with small-caps.

‘’Although the timing for the introduction of the FUND would have been better last year, as indicated in our last issue of The Small-Cap Beat we expect 2010 to be another strong year for U.S. small-cap stocks with the Russell 2000 Index expected to pick up 40% to move to about 850 by the end of this year’’ finally noted Mr. Solis.

The FUND is to be strictly offered to investors deemed to be Accredited Investors within the meaning of the laws of their respective country of residence. The FUND is sub-fund of JP SPC 1, a segregated portfolio company incorporated in the Cayman Island.
