Strategy

Seeks to provide long term capital appreciation through risk-adjusted returns from an alternative, event driven strategy by: 

  • Seeking to profit from inefficiencies and information resulting from specific corporate, investor or other events and situations

  • Diversifying exposures across a number of corporate events, asset classes and instrument types

  • Allocating among securities that may benefit from different corporate events such as mergers, restructuring, bankruptcy, spin-offs and buybacks

  • Opportunistically managing different events (Hard and Soft Catalyst1 ) across the portfolio

  • Moderating overall volatility by using long and synthetic short investment techniques
