Anvil Investment Associates

What they do

Anvil Investment Associates, L.P. is a Delaware-based limited partnership that serves as one of the primary investment vehicles for Ashford Capital Management, Inc. (ACM). Managed by Theodore H. Ashford III, the firm employs a fundamental, bottom-up research strategy to identify "undiscovered" small-cap growth companies with high potential for long-term capital appreciation. Unlike high-velocity trading funds, Anvil and its manager take concentrated, durable positions in companies with strong management and 10-15% annual growth potential, often holding assets for years.

What they look for

The firm follows a "Small Company Growth" and "Long-Term Durable Growth" thesis. They seek to identify high-quality, small-capitalization businesses that are misunderstood or overlooked by the broader market. They look for companies capable of sustaining ~10-15% annual growth with experienced management teams, positive cash flow, and earnings generation. They want businesses that can be held for at least one year (often much longer) to realize "unrealized profitability."
