Bortel Investment Management, LLC

Bortel Investment Management LLC serves accredited, high‑net‑worth and qualified investors through a single pooled vehicle, the Tiburon Opportunity Fund, LP, managing assets on a discretionary basis. The firm also provides institutional consulting and tailored company and executive research to other institutional clients.

The fund follows a long/short equity approach with an emphasis on small‑cap bank equities while retaining flexibility to hold mid‑ and large‑cap positions, options, derivatives and to employ leverage and short selling. Investment decisions combine fundamental analysis and technical behavior, and the manager may hold concentrated or illiquid positions and exercise discretion in valuing non‑public (Level 3) assets.

Noteworthy features include the firm’s involvement in other financial activities beyond portfolio management: the adviser and the fund have engaged in private debt investments that converted into equities and warrants, and the general partner has served on a portfolio company advisory board and received personal warrants tied to such transactions, which the brochure discloses as potential conflicts. The firm also discloses a past SEC administrative proceeding related to undisclosed third‑party payments at a predecessor firm and identifies an outsized private holding that has at times represented a material portion of fund assets.
