Wisdom Oak Fund Management

Patrick S. Malone founded Wisdom Oak Fund Management and served as its principal. He was the portfolio manager of the firm's mutual funds, including the Wisdom Oak Winery Fund. His background includes managing concentrated, thematic equity strategies in the registered fund space. The firm had no other named investment principals in public filings.

The Wisdom Oak Winery Fund was a thematic mutual fund that invested in publicly traded wine, spirits, and luxury beverage companies globally. It operated as a series of the Wisdom Oak mutual fund trust. The fund was ultimately liquidated after a period of sub-scale asset gathering relative to the costs of maintaining a standalone registered fund complex.

Based on the firm's most recent regulatory filings, Wisdom Oak Fund Management's Form ADV registration has been withdrawn, and its remaining mutual fund series was reorganized into a different trust managed by another investment adviser. This indicates the firm is no longer managing third-party fund assets in a registered capacity. No current operating status has been publicly confirmed.

No. Wisdom Oak's historic strategy was exclusively in publicly traded equities through registered mutual fund vehicles. There is no public record of direct private investments, co-investments, or private fund commitments.

The name is derived from Wisdom Oak Winery, a vineyard and winery located in North Garden, Virginia, near Charlottesville. Patrick S. Malone's connection to the Virginia wine industry informed the thematic focus of the firm's original mutual fund products.
