Overview
The Adviser, a Delaware limited liability company, is an investment adviser with its principal
place of business in New York, NY. Atika commenced its operations in February 2013. Bradley
Farber is the principal owner of Atika.
Atika provides investment advisory services to private funds. With regard to its private funds,
Atika provides discretionary investment advisory services to Atika Capital Partners LP, a
Delaware limited partnership (the “Atika Onshore”), Atika Offshore Master Fund, Ltd., a Cayman
Islands exempted company (the “Atika Offshore Master”), and Atika Offshore Fund, Ltd., a
Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Atika Offshore” and collectively with Atika Onshore,
Atika Offshore Master and Atika Offshore, the “Atika Funds”). Atika also serves as a sub-adviser
to The Optika Master Portfolio Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Optika Master”)
and its two feeder funds, The Optika Fund Limited (the “Optika Offshore”) and The Optika Fund
LLC (the “Optika Onshore”, collectively with Optika Offshore and Optika Master, the “Optika
Funds”), a Cayman Islands exempted company and a Delaware limited liability company
respectfully (collectively with the Atika Funds, the “Funds/Clients” or each a “Fund/Client”).
Atika employs a long/short strategy using a fundamentally-driven research process and
believes
that investing based on in-depth fundamental analysis will allow one to obtain higher conviction
and afford oneself the opportunity to size a position aggressively, thus helping to generate a
superior return on investment. Atika believes that there is a time arbitrage in certain segments of
the equity market and those willing to hold positions longer can capitalize on opportunities created
by the intense focus on short-term performance.
Individual weightings are determined by probability weighted risk/reward, liquidity, and size of
related holdings. Atika diversifies investments in order to manage volatility and minimize
downside risk in the portfolio, though, from time to time it holds large positions (e.g., exceeding
10%) in individual equities (measured at the time of investment). The Adviser monitors positions
in the portfolio dynamically and scrutinizes individual positions to avoid thesis creep.
The Funds are managed only in accordance with their own characteristics and are not tailored to
any particular private fund investor. Information about each Fund can be found in its respective
offering documents, including its confidential private offering memorandum (the “Offering
Documents”).
As of December 31, 2023, Atika managed $840,838,513 on a discretionary basis on behalf of the
Funds.
