Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Upslope Capital Management?
Founder Cory Hoffman is the sole portfolio manager and makes all investment decisions. Before launching Upslope in 2015, Hoffman spent roughly a decade at Janus Henderson, where he was a portfolio manager and research analyst co-managing the Janus Global Research Fund. His earlier career included roles at Goldman Sachs and Credit Suisse. The concentrated, high-conviction nature of the portfolio reflects a single decision-maker model.
What is Upslope Capital Management's known posture on capacity and asset gathering?
Upslope has historically prioritized strategy integrity over asset growth, and has not publicly disclosed its assets under management. The firm's concentration in mid-cap equities — a less liquid segment of the market — imposes a natural capacity constraint on the strategy if it is to continue moving nimbly. This restraint is a structural feature of the firm's philosophy: protecting the ability to generate alpha for existing clients by not diluting the strategy with too much capital.
