Managed by Chesapeake Capital, an institutional investment manager founded over 30 years ago by Jerry Parker—a pioneer from the legendary "Turtles" experiment—the fund operates as a series of Investment Managers Series Trust II, with portfolio management led by Jerry Parker as Chairman and CEO and Mike Ivie as Director of Research.
