Ranger Investment Management LP, a Dallas employee-owned boutique investment manager specializing in small- and micro-cap U.S. growth strategies, has been selected by Spanish wealth advisory firm Orienta Capital to manage a micro-cap growth portfolio within its new Acimut North American Managers FI Fund.
Ranger Investments is one of four U.S. asset managers awarded mandates from Orienta Capital after company officials researched and visited more than 200 investment boutiques specializing in U.S. equities.
“We launched the Orienta Capital Fund to give Spanish investors access to quality U.S. companies through portfolios managed by specialized boutique firms like Ranger Investments that have exhibited organizational depth and talent and excellent investment track records,” Orienta Capital Partner Pablo Valdes said in a statement.
Orienta Capital manages more than €2.1 billion in assets for institutions and individuals in Spain. That’s roughly $2.25 billion.

“Orienta’s due diligence speaks to its thorough vetting process, and we are honored that the team selected us to manage the micro-cap portfolio,” Conrad Doenges, chief investment officer, partner, and portfolio manager at Ranger Investments, said in a statement.
Ranger Investments’ micro-cap growth strategy was launched on Aug. 1, 2014. The firm said its strategy’s composite has outperformed its benchmark, the Russell Microcap Growth Index, since inception, and over the one-, three-, and five-year annualized periods through Dec. 31, 2022.
This announcement represents Ranger Investments’ second European mandate; the firm said it also manages a U.S. small cap growth portfolio for a Scandinavian sovereign wealth fund.
Ranger Investments serves a global client base through separate accounts, sub-advised mandates, a private fund vehicle, and two mutual funds—Ranger Small Cap Fund and Ranger Micro Cap Fund. Ranger Investments formally integrates analysis of environmental, social, and governance factors into its investment process.
