# New Client Finding Bigger Opportunities in the Smallest Part of the Market

In small-cap investing, the playbook usually goes like this: stick to the higher end of the market-cap range where there’s plenty of liquidity and capacity is easier to manage. The trouble is, that’s exactly where everyone else is. The space is crowded, and genuine alpha is hard to come by.
[Pacific Ridge Capital Partners](https://www.pacificridgecapital.com/) has never followed the crowd. Guided by a time-tested, cash-flow-focused value discipline, they dig into the smallest corners of the small-cap market, where inefficiencies still exist and real value still matters. It’s a part of the market most managers steer clear of. Not because it lacks opportunity, but because it demands more legwork, more patience, and more conviction. For Pacific Ridge, that’s where the edge is.
They build diversified portfolios of underfollowed companies, giving investors a chance to add something unique to their equity allocations. Through this approach, they offer untapped capacity in a part of the market that many larger players can’t touch—an edge sharpened over decades of experience in small-cap value investing.
Leading Pacific Ridge are co-founders Mark Cooper and Dominic Marshall. Years before launching the firm, they built and ran successful small-cap and micro-cap strategies together at Benson Associates. When they reconnected in 2010, they decided to “get the band back together” and bring those same investment strategies forward.

Pacific Ridge embodies everything we look for in a partner: a truly differentiated investment strategy and the know-how to deliver what the market can’t easily copy. Their work proves that “going smaller” doesn’t mean taking on more risk. It means uncovering opportunities that others don’t have the grit or discipline to find.
That’s why we’re thrilled to welcome Pacific Ridge to the Havener Capital squad. Our mission has always been to connect high-conviction boutiques with early adopters who appreciate specialization. We’re excited to help Pacific Ridge sharpen their story, broaden their reach, and partner with investors who believe, like they do, that true alpha still exists—it just takes the right team to go deep enough to unlock it.
