Spinner Asset Management, LLC ("Spinner Asset"), an investment management firm registered under the U.S. Investment Advisers Act of 1940, provides advice on investments in smaller capitalization, information technology companies around the world. Originally founded in 1993, the firm manages the Spinner Global Technology Fund, Ltd. (the "Fund"), a private client fund that invests globally, both long and short, in smaller capitalization, information technology stocks.

The Fund was originally established to produce venture capital-type returns by investing principally in the public markets. The Fund's objective is to generate capital appreciation by making equity investments in smaller capitalization, information technology companies, both long and short, in the U.S. and around the world. The Fund utilizes a variety of hedging techniques to reduce overall portfolio volatility and minimize downside risk. Hedging techniques include short-selling, buying/selling options and maintaining cash balances. The Fund has invested globally since 1993, with up to 40% of the portfolio invested in companies located outside the United States. The Fund may also invest up to 10% of its gross assets in private placements.

Spinner Asset employs a fundamental, "bottom-up" investment approach in order to identify those companies that are positioned for high growth and profitability. Spinner Asset’s portfolio managers and analysts conduct primary investment research to identify themes and trends through their extensive network of industry and venture capital contacts and by attending industry trade shows, performing company visits, meeting with management teams, and attending investor conferences. The firm may also contact various vendors and suppliers of existing and potential portfolio companies to assist in understanding a company's business prospects. Rigorous financial and technical analysis is then used to identify target entry and exit prices for each position. Management teams are regularly evaluated through on-going, direct contact, and through a highly developed, international network of technology professionals. Spinner Asset invests in a broad range of information technology industries including computer hardware, computer software, consumer electronics, defense electronics, wireless technology, semiconductors, semiconductor capital equipment, and select areas of telecommunications.
