About
ELF Capital Management, LLC
Established in February 2003, ELF Capital Management, LLC is an alternative for investors seeking an investment manager experience with a firm that acts on movements and trends in global economies, taken as a whole, rather than employing a strategy that lives or dies by how a specific sector might perform in an economic cycle.
It is our belief that most money managers pursue strategies whose scope of opportunity spans an inch wide, while exhibiting a level of understanding that goes a mile deep. The challenge with these "inch wide and mile deep" managers is that they go through periods when their "inch wide" strategy underperforms, offering less opportunity, than others in the global marketplace. When a manager's strategy is out of favor, investors either have to make a change or become unhappy that their money is not growing as well as they had hoped.
ELF Capital Management ("ELF") looks a "mile wide" for investment opportunities while offering talent, expertise and ongoing research efforts to dig down quite "deep". At the same time, we focus on understanding and managing the risks inherent in each and every investment we make. What ELF offers is a total portfolio strategy that selects from a broad array of investment opportunities while employing a managed risk approach.
After a storied 15 year career on Wall Street and 5 enlightening years as a senior member of the University of Virginia's venerable investment management group, Henry Kaelber recognized that only the largest institutions or wealthy families could afford this level of service and focused expertise. Blending an opportunity to provide an alternative approach for investors, together with a desire to operate from picturesque Charlottesville, Virginia, Henry formed ELF.
Also, while Henry has has an evident passion for investments, he's also maintained a modest accounting and tax practice since 1981. His accounting skills opened doors for him in the investment world and he's always maintained familiarity with his roots. His broad background as a Certified Public Accountant, a Certified Financial Planner®, and having passed Level I of the Chartered Financial Analyst program gives him an uncommon understanding of financial matters and he enjoys the relationship that helping people with their accounting, tax and financial planning challenges brings.
