Scalar Gauge Management, LLC

Scalar Gauge Management primarily provides discretionary portfolio and investment management to private pooled investment vehicles — including a hedge fund, a special purpose vehicle (SPV), and a long‑only fund — and also serves certain qualified legal entities through managed accounts. The firm may provide non‑discretionary advice in some cases and tailors services to each Fund’s governing documents and each Managed Account’s investment agreement.

The adviser employs a flexible, opportunistic global equity approach that uses long and short positions and equity derivatives, with emphasis on technology, media and telecommunications (TMT), consumer and services sectors, and companies undergoing significant technological change. It also invests across the capital structure, including debt and equity tranches, and for select investments (notably the SPV) may build meaningful ownership stakes and engage in activist efforts with management and boards.

Compared with many peers that focus solely on pooled vehicles, Scalar Gauge’s client mix explicitly includes corporate or business entities and qualified legal entities via managed accounts and SPVs, an arrangement that is less common among firms in this category. Other distinguishing features in its brochure include the firm’s use of soft‑dollar research relationships, the potential for its affiliated general partner to give the firm custody of Fund assets, and a willingness to pursue concentrated, high‑conviction positions.
