Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Sphera Funds Management?
Investment decisions are made by a team of eight managing partners, including co-founders Doron Breen and Ron Senator, along with Omer Degani, Nadav Zeller, Avishay Hertzanu, Tzafrir Efrati, Avi Ben-Ari, and Eli Uzan. The research team is headed by Joshua Lipman (per the firm's website).
How does Sphera source proprietary deal flow?
Sphera does not disclose its sourcing model in public materials. Its long/short equity strategies likely rely on fundamental research in public markets, while its real estate private equity fund may source deals through local relationships in Israel.
Is Sphera structured as a single family office or does it operate more like a hedge fund?
Sphera is a hedge fund manager, not a family office. It manages client capital from third-party institutional investors such as pension funds, insurers, and family offices, and operates long/short equity and real estate fund structures (per the firm's website).
Does Sphera participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?
Sphera primarily acts as a fund manager — it runs commingled funds (long/short equity and real estate) and takes fees on that capital. Its website does not mention direct co-investments or club deals alongside LPs.
What investment stages does Sphera typically target?
The firm runs liquid long/short equity strategies — effectively public market investments across market caps. Its real estate fund invests in property assets, but no specific stage (early, growth, buyout) is disclosed.
Which sectors does Sphera explicitly avoid?
Sphera does not publish explicit sector-negative screens. Its website emphasizes fundamental, research-driven investing without naming avoided categories.
What is Sphera's known posture on co-investments alongside external GPs?
Sphera shows no public presence of co-investing alongside external GPs. Its business model revolves around managing its own long/short and real estate funds.
