Derek Pilecki's Company

Gator Capital Management Gator Capital Management is a boutique investment management firm dedicated to the professional management of focused, high-quality investment portfolios for high-net worth individuals and institutions.

Gator’s Investment Philosophy is unique. First, we buy stocks as if we were buying the entire business. We do not view stocks as speculative trades to be tossed aside in a few days or months. Next, we focus on high-quality businesses. A high-quality business has a durable competitive advantage that enables it to earn excess returns for long periods of time. Last, Gator’s portfolio managers build focused portfolios, averaging just 30-40 positions — we build each portfolio focused on our best ideas to create wealth for our clients.

We welcome the opportunity to help you manage your assets and grow your wealth over time. Simply contact us via email info@gatorcapital.com or at (813) 282-7870.
