Joe Frohna, 1492 Capital Management’s founding principal and
portfolio manager of the Growth Strategies and Core Alpha Strategy funds, was a
guest speaker in the AIM program on Friday.
An experienced manager of public
and private funds for institutional and individual investors since 1997; he has
created a Milwaukee-based investment firm that focuses on finding small cap companies with superior growth
characteristics. As he told the students, 1492 deploys a thematic approach in an attempt to
leverage their fundamental research to identify key companies
that will be participating in a particular high growth area of the economy.
