Best "Under the Radar" Funds

Curious of funds folks follow / respect that aren't the traditional (i.e. Pershing, Tiger, etc.) names. Either L/S or distressed, either works. A handful I would throw out: 

1. Abdiel Capital (gained prominence but ran low-key for a long time)

2. AltaRock (these guys have $2B in six positions, not sure how they sleep at night)

3. Spruce House (again, wildly concentrated, with two biggest positions being CVNA and W....must have been a wild year)

4. Conifer Management (this is Greg Alexander's private partnership under RCG)

5. Cat Rock Capital (gaining prominence, hiring right now and someone posted recently)

6. Nut Tree Capital (crusher in stressed / distressed space, launched with $100M and now managing $1B+)

7. Mudrick Capital (cool mandate, do mostly credit and some equities, have done well but strange amount of analyst turnover)

He's done well, and some of his picks have been stellar. RMBL was a stinker though, and always thought it was strange he basically retracted all of his research....

Loved the EVO pick though.
