Peak Ridge is an entrepreneurial organization that believes superior returns are generated by harnessing best-in-class technical, market and industry expertise to make the best investment decisions possible. The firm is not solely focused on creating a portfolio of assets under management, but rather on creating a portfolio of assets that generate an exceptional risk-adjusted rate of return. Peak Ridge prides itself as being an investor-focused firm with a reputation for delivering results, constantly managing risk and providing full transparency for investor peace of mind.

At its launch in January of 2000 under its previous name, Avolte, the firm was the culmination of years of planning and preparation by its founder. Peak Ridge began its operations focused on venture capital activities and successfully raised the Peak Ridge Avolte Venture Partners Northeast Fund. The Fund was a highly successful investment vehicle generating strong returns. This success led to the launch of the current Peak Ridge Avolte Venture Partners Midwest Fund in 2007 that leverages our presence in the mid-western United States and focuses on early-stage technology and health science companies.

In mid-2007, Peak Ridge acquired the models, strategies and trading operations of a leading energy hedge fund and later on that year utilized those assets to launch the Peak Ridge Commodities Volatility Fund. In early 2008, the firm entered the real estate arena with a significant investment in Ontario, Canada, which then lead to the formation of the Peak Ridge Real Estate Investment Fund. Later on in 2008, Peak Ridge launched the Peak Ridge AgTech Fund, a venture capital fund that targets investments in the agriculture, clean technology and biofuel markets. Most recently, the Peak Ridge Metals Equity Special Situations Fund was created to capitalize on global investment opportunities in the mining and exploration space.

Peak Ridge’s future will continue on this same path – one that continuously provides unique product offerings coupled with best-in-class investment managers. We believe our model is not only truly unique, but also promotes confidence for our investors that their assets are being both guided and guarded by a firm dedicated to being investor-friendly and fully transparent.
