Flight Deck Capital, LP

Flight Deck Capital acts as investment manager to private pooled investment funds, providing discretionary portfolio management and trading authority on behalf of those funds rather than individual investors. The firm manages pooled vehicles under each fund’s offering documents and coordinates with fund administrators and custodians to implement trades and produce investor reporting.

The firm pursues a global equity long-short strategy across public and private opportunities with a sector focus on areas undergoing technology-driven change, using a repeatable top-down and bottom-up research process and outreach to entrepreneurs and growth investors. Portfolio construction incorporates listed equities and equity-related derivatives (including swaps, options, and futures), foreign exchange instruments, and later-stage private minority stakes, with private investments split between pro rata illiquid allocations and separately solicited elective co-investments.

Distinctive features include actively trading commodity interests and derivatives while relying on an available CFTC exemption rather than CFTC registration as a commodity pool operator/trading advisor, a structure that is less common among peers. The firm also emphasizes use of alternative data and plans to incorporate evolving artificial intelligence tools into its investment process, and it accepts performance-based compensation and uses third-party solicitors for investor introductions.
