Frequently asked questions
How does Endurance source proprietary deal flow?
Endurance targets companies that receive minimal sell-side analyst coverage, often relying on direct outreach to management teams, industry conferences, and board-level relationships. The firm's willingness to take board seats opens doors to private, operational conversations that screen-based peers miss. Its micro-cap focus means it competes against fewer institutional buyers for each position.
Is Endurance a registered investment advisor, and what is its regulatory posture?
Yes, Endurance Investment Strategies, Inc. as an investment adviser, filed under CIK 0001608975. It reports approximately $79 million in regulatory assets under management in its most recent public filing. The firm maintains no reported disciplinary history or disclosures.
Does Endurance invest outside the United States?
Yes, the firm's mandate includes both US and Canadian equities, with Canada representing a meaningful portion of the opportunity set because its micro-cap market is even more underfollowed. The strategy does not invest in Europe or emerging markets. Canada is the only non-US geography publicly identified in its scope.
What is Endurance's posture on co-investments alongside external managers?
Endurance does not co-invest alongside outside GPs in the private-equity sense — it owns public equities. However, the firm will sit alongside fellow board members from other concentrated managers or family offices in small-cap names. It is not part of any disclosed club-deal network or co-investment platform.
How liquid is the portfolio given the micro-cap focus?
The strategy accepts meaningful illiquidity risk by holding sub-$500 million market-cap names that can take weeks to exit without moving the price. Endurance addresses this structurally: it runs concentrated positions, caps strategy assets to avoid forced selling, and sets multi-year holding periods. Redemptions are offered quarterly, but the portfolio is not designed for short-term liquidity.
