The Arbitrage Fund Class C (ARBCX)

Overview

The investment approach of this fund primarily focuses on capitalizing on opportunities arising from various corporate events. By allocating at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of companies undergoing publicly announced mergers, takeovers, tender offers, leveraged buyouts, spin-offs, liquidations, and other corporate reorganizations, the fund aims to achieve profit. This strategy, known as merger arbitrage, is a niche and highly specialized investment tactic designed to benefit from the successful completion of these corporate actions. The target investments include both U.S. and foreign companies, in a bid to diversify and potentially enhance returns through exposure to a wide array of corporate reorganizations across different markets.
