CRAWFORD LAKE CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

Crawford Lake Capital Management manages a trading-oriented long/short equity strategy. The firm uses a hybrid approach that combines fundamental and technical analysis, and invests in listed equities and options. Its strategy has the objective of generating strong, risk-adjusted returns over time, with low volatility, despite market conditions. Crawford Lake began operations under the sole management of Isaac Markowitz in 2006, and Jacob Herzka joined in 2008 as partner and co-portfolio manage... r. The firm brought on Jeff Schachter as President and Chief Operating Officer in 2015. Since 2008 was the first year of operation under co-management of both Isaac Markowitz and Jacob Herzka, that is what the firm considers to be its inception year. The firm was rebranded under the name “Crawford Lake” in 2015 in order to establish a unique brand identity. The firm’s primary management entity is Crawford Lake Capital Management, LLC, which was formed in 2013, and which is registered with the SEC as a Registered Investment Adviser and serves as the investment manager for all vehicles under the firm’s management. However, the firm’s initial management entity was Crawford Lake GP, LLC, which still serves as the general partner to applicable firm entities. References to “Crawford Lake” before 2013 are to the general partner entity, and thereafter refer to the operations of both management entities.More
