Corey Ribotsky News

Discussing the current trends and practices of the NIR Group, Corey Ribotsky, Head Portfolio Manager and Managing Member, expressed his opinion to Opalesque Magazine in April, 2009.

Although the NIR Group is generally open to investments in all sectors which show promise, Ribotsky did express a “sweet spot” for small, micro-cap as well as launching into the midcap sector.

The current market has presented many challenges as well as opportunities for new investment strategies, according to Ribotsky. The present credit crunch means more companies need financing, but unfortunately the past has not been reminiscent of today’s situation. Because today’s credit crunch is more serious than past crunches it is especially crucial to be careful with target companies.

Based in Roslyn, New York, the NIR Group celebrates its tenth anniversary since it created its first direct investment fund in 1999. Discussing the current investment environment with the perspective of ten years as Managing Member and Head Portfolio Manager, Corey Ribotsky shared some thoughts with Opalesque Magazine.

Ribotsky’s investment strategy is “agnostic” and is not wedded to a particular sector of the marketplace. Rather, according to Ribotsky, the NIR Group has been seeing excellent opportunities in all industries. He is especially excited by the clean-tech (green) company transactions which ‘we are watching closely because we really believe that those technologies will become the forefront of a new tech boom.’

Because of the high expectation Ribotsky has for this sector, the NIR Group is watching closely and diligently reviewing the deals in the green industry sector.

There are many factors that must come together for any business to thrive, and this is especially true of investment firms. At the NIR Group, LLC with Corey Ribotsky at the helm as the head portfolio manager, investing can be described not only as a science, but as an art.

The portfolio managers are not just managers, but partners as well, assuring no conflict of interest when it comes to getting the most from your money. The team and business infrastructure is large, and the senior managers have experience since 1999 investing over seven billion dollars through every possible business cycle.

Enormous efforts are made researching companies so that portfolio building and management of risk are done with the utmost due diligence. There is a rigorous investment process alongside a highly disciplined investment outlook in conjunction with aggressive management which results in consistent, excellent performance.

With all these efforts it is no wonder that the NIR Group has had such consistent annual returns since 1999.

This new service will be available to alternative investors as well as institutional investors including money managers,  private equity groups,  insurance companies, and pension plans.
