Hayden Capital

Hayden Capital, LLC is a small, discretionary investment adviser (one advisor, about $57.3 million in AUM) that provides portfolio management to individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), trusts, estates, charitable organizations, corporations and pooled investment vehicles. The firm also acts as general partner and investment adviser to a private fund, Hayden Capital Partners, LP, which the brochure notes launched in 2025.

The firm describes a fundamental, research‑intensive investment approach focused on long‑term capital preservation and concentrated portfolios (generally 6–15 core positions), investing across market capitalizations and in both domestic and international securities. Portfolios may include derivatives, convertible securities and commodity futures, can hold large cash positions, and client accounts are generally custodied and traded through Interactive Brokers per the firm’s stated practices.

Noteworthy distinctions relative to many peers include active management of a pooled 3(c)(1) private fund with a 36‑month lockup and potential early withdrawal penalty, and a performance‑based fee option for Qualified Clients (a 15% allocation of net profits above a 5% hurdle with a 10‑year high‑water mark). The brochure also discloses practices intended to address side‑by‑side allocation conflicts, regular performance reporting to clients, and ongoing payments to a referring firm for prior client introductions, which are relevant to prospective investors assessing conflicts of interest.
