Frequently asked questions
How does Boardman Bay allocate between public equities and private venture capital?
The firm operates two distinct public-markets funds — the long/short Digital Transformation Fund and the concentrated long-only Optical Opportunities Fund — alongside the Boardman Bay Private Opportunities Fund, a dedicated private-venture vehicle. Private commitments have been active since 2015, targeting hard-tech companies at growth inflection points. The public and private teams share research infrastructure, but the funds maintain separate liquidity profiles and portfolio-construction disciplines.
What qualifies as 'hard technology' for Boardman Bay's private investments?
The firm defines its hard-tech remit to include semiconductors, silicon photonics, co-packaged optics, AI datacenter infrastructure, advanced hardware, autonomy, robotics, and defense-related technologies. These share long development cycles, high capital intensity, and a dependence on deep technical underwriting — attributes the firm believes produce asymmetric return profiles when timed correctly.
What is the Optical Opportunities Fund, and how does it differ from the Digital Transformation Fund?
The Optical Opportunities Fund, launched in 2017, is a concentrated long-only strategy that invests in the physical infrastructure of AI — semiconductors, high-speed connectivity, networking, and hardware. The Digital Transformation Fund, launched in 2012, is a broader long/short equity strategy that invests across the technology landscape. The Optical fund represents the firm's thematic doubling-down on hard infrastructure.
