Old West Investment Management, LLC is a Los Angeles–based investment firm founded by Joseph Boskovich, Sr., drawing on more than three decades of experience. Since its inception, the firm has grown to manage roughly $277 million in market value, serving high-net-worth individuals, family offices and institutional clients. Founded on the premise that building a loyal investor base creates an edge for disciplined and often contrarian decisions, the firm treats each investor as it would like to be treated, believing this approach fosters trust and underpins its long-term focus. In addition to equities, the firm manages fixed income and alternative assets within its value-oriented framework. Headquarters are at 601 South Figueroa Street, Suite 1975, Los Angeles, California.
The firm concentrates on identifying businesses led by management teams with significant personal stock ownership, thoughtful compensation structures and a proven history of compounding shareholder value. By seeking assets trading below intrinsic business value, Old West builds in a margin of safety and targets attractive returns with limited downside risk. Investment strategies include both long-only and long/short approaches, alongside separately managed accounts and limited partnerships. The portfolio is typically concentrated in the firm’s highest-conviction ideas, with notable exposure to industrial metals and resource industries that align with global demand trends.
Public disclosures and investor communications highlight value investing themes and resource exposure, without reference to clean technology or battery technology as dedicated areas of investment. Its statements do not mention early-stage clean energy or battery recycling companies, and the firm is not listed among venture groups focused on those technologies.
