In 2015, Dellwood pivoted to a more long biased model and began making outside investments in private debt.

About Us
Our Strategy
With a focus on technology household names, opportunistic trading, and macro opportunities, we employ a comprehensive strategy to maximize returns while carefully managing risk.
At Dellwood, we have a long bias and invest in tech household names that dominate their respective markets. Companies like Google, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Tesla, Netflix, Shopify, Nvidia, and more are core holdings in our portfolio. We allocate a significant portion of our assets under management (AUM), with typical investments reaching as high as 10%. By targeting market leaders with near-monopolistic control, we aim to capture long-term value and growth potential.
In the shorter term, Dellwood’s roots focus on quicker, opportunistic investments. These include “meme” stocks like Gamestop as well as other unique opportunities like oil, lumber, and other stocks where volatility is spiking.
Dellwood seldom naked shorts equities. Instead, we focus on options and derivatives where risk is controlled while upside can be unlimited.
Profit taking is a core mantra at Dellwood. The founders very much believe in the thesis that you can never go broke taking profits. Dellwood very much utilizes the Derek Jeter mentality of always getting on base hitting singles and doubles instead of swinging for the fences.
