About Us

Peterson Capital Management was created to provide an investment vehicle that builds enormous wealth for our long-term partners.

Peterson Capital Management, LLC (PCM) employs a long-term value based strategy within Peterson Investment Fund I, LP. The firm is evaluated on an absolute return basis and seeks to outperform the market benchmark over the long-term. PCM employs a “bottom up” approach to locate investment opportunities and utilizes a long-term strategy in their execution.

PCM concentrates on their best ideas. Independent research is performed in pursuit of undervalued securities while ignoring any new hot stocks the herd is following. PCM believes that ethics, hard work and a patient long-term outlook will lead to superior performance and capital appreciation. Market frictions are minimized to avoid any unnecessary expense and the firm actively works to circumvent the common psychological mistakes that can often lead to depressed performance. PCM offers an extremely attractive compensation structure that is designed to closely align incentives between the managers and limited partners. Finally, they “eat their own cooking”. The General Partner, Matthew P. Peterson, CFA, invests a significant portion of his own net worth in the Fund.
