MIG Capital is an SEC registered institutional investment management firm founded by the Merage family after the sale of their frozen food business, Chef America, inventor of Hot Pockets, to Nestle in 2002. Portfolio Manager Richard Merage has been managing proprietary family capital since 2003 and founded today's MIG Capital Long/Short strategy in 2007. For the past 13+ years, Mr. Merage has been working with a team of experienced analysts to construct a differentiated portfolio of individual long and short investment ideas with the objective of generating alpha and absolute returns on both sides of the portfolio. Brothers Paul and David Merage created Hot Pockets, which became a household name. Founded in 1977, the company behind the microwavable meals, Chef America, was sold to Nestle in 2002 for $2.6 billion. Paul Merage is chairman of MIG Capital which he co-founded with his son Richard and Greg Merage, a member of the extended family. According to Forbes, the Merage family is worth nearly $2B.
