The Formation of Dragoneye
Reflecting on the journey, Dragoneye’s formation draws a natural progression from experience at Redburn, Forensic Alpha, and finally at Europe’s premier short focused hedge fund ShadowFall.
The company’s early foundation was built at Redburn, where expertise in fundamental research was developed. Skills in company analysis and industry insights were honed, focusing on deciphering complex financial data to provide valuable perspectives.
A pivotal role in launching Forensic Alpha spurred Dragoneye’s focus on forensic accounting. This role trained the team to meticulously examine financial statements, identifying discrepancies and potential accounting irregularities.
Finally, expertise in short-selling and investigative research methodologies was gained at ShadowFall. This experience sharpened the ability to critically assess actionable short ideas. ShadowFall’s rigorous short-selling framework instilled a discipline that ensures every investment opportunity is evaluated with a critical eye, constantly considering the potential downside alongside with the upside.
