| Who
is the Galleon Group?
Founded in January 1997, The Galleon Group manages a series of funds
that specialize in the technology and healthcare industries. Currently
The Galleon Group manages five different long/short equity funds:
Technology, Healthcare, New Media (Internet), Communications and
Life Sciences. The partners of Galleon have significant experience
in the technology and health care sectors and, prior to joining
Galleon, were senior professionals at Wall Street firms such as
Goldman, Sachs & Company, Needham & Company and ING Barings.
Galleons philosophy and approach differs from that of other
hedge funds in the fundamental belief that it is possible to deliver
superior returns to our investors without employing leverage. Galleon
has built an organization where stock picking on both the long and
short sides, rather than market timing, is the key to our success.
Core
business principles
Combine strong fundamental investment analysis with superior trading
capability Galleon places a strong emphasis on both fundamental
investment analysis and trading. This enables us to identify companies
with superior long-term growth prospects while maintaining the flexibility
to profit from short-term market fluctuations. Retain Senior People
Galleon has a structure in place where key people have significant
equity ownership in the firm. Currently, there are eight key employees
three in technology analysis, two in healthcare analysis
and three in trading. Our approach is to have multiple partners
with significant equity interest with the goal of attracting and
retaining the highest quality individuals. Disciplined approach
to portfolio construction Galleon has established a consistent approach
to portfolio construction that has been tested over seven years.
We have strict limitations on the use of leverage and the size of
individual positions and have developed strategies for effective
risk management.
Client
reporting We attach particular importance to communication with
our clients. On the first business day following the end of every
month, we communicate our monthly returns with a commentary on the
exposure and strategy of each fund. On a quarterly basis, we provide
a more detailed update. In addition, all partners are accessible
to investors. Align
interest with investors In order to fully align our interests with
those of our investors; employees are prohibited from trading stocks
in their personal accounts.
