Voss Capital ("Voss") is a hedge fund based in Houston, TX. The long investment strategy focuses on identifying undervalued equities through a research-intensive process. A key component of targeting attractive opportunities lies in uncovering Value-Oriented Special Situations, V.O.S.S.
Since the inception of Voss in 2011, we've aimed to deliver positive alpha (returns exceeding the market) to our investors, which range from large institutions like research foundations and state retirement systems to individual high net worth investors. The firm managed approximately $1.1 billion in assets as of the end of Q3 2024.
Voss has continued to expand as the firm has grown in assets under management. The team remains relatively small and lean, where each employee has a stake in our overall success. As a result, our environment is collaborative and dynamic. Our current headcount is eight.
