About Aventine
Firm
Aventine Capital is an independent investment manager focused on global public equities. We invest in cost-advantaged businesses where improved capital allocation can unlock long-term shareholder value. Our focus is on non-U.S. markets where such opportunities are most prevalent.
We believe superior returns are achieved through patient ownership of enduring businesses acquired at attractive valuations. We seek partners who share the view that risk is defined by the price paid—and that compelling opportunities often emerge when others are forced or irrational sellers.
Portfolio Manager
Philip Berkman is the Founder and Managing Member of Aventine Capital Management. From 2016 to 2025, he was a Senior Analyst and Partner at Kinney Asset Management in Chicago, investing in global small- and mid-cap equities.
