Products and Services

• Equity Long/Short Strategies

  This strategy involves taking long positions in stocks that are expected to increase in value and short positions in stocks expected to decrease in value. It aims to exploit the performance differences between the long and short positions to generate returns, offering potential for both growth and income while seeking to manage market volatility.

• Event Driven and Merger Arbitrage Strategies

  Relative value strategies aim to identify and exploit differences in the price or rate of securities. This could involve pairs trading, where securities are bought and sold in pairs to capture anomalies between their pricing, or other arbitrage opportunities. This strategy seeks to achieve returns through the recognition of undervalued or overvalued investments in the market.

• Global Macro Strategy

  This strategy takes positions in various asset classes (including stocks, bonds, currencies, and commodities) across the globe based on macroeconomic themes. By analyzing global markets and economic indicators, the fund attempts to predict market movements and invest accordingly, aiming to benefit from macroeconomic trends and adjustments in the global economy.
