Philosophy & Process
Event Driven
We believe attractive event-driven investments exist in the global equity and credit markets due to the highly idiosyncratic nature of event-driven situations. Traditional market participants are often unwilling or unable to navigate the capital structure, legal, and regulatory complexity of event driven situations and/or may have discomfort with binary outcomes. The strategy seeks to exploit these market inefficiencies by applying a highly specialized event driven investing framework which enables us to identify the most attractive risk adjusted return opportunity for a given situation.
