Our investment philosophy

We believe that strong risk-adjusted returns can be achieved by employing a multi-strategy, arbitrage-oriented approach to capital markets. We seek to extract returns from a diversified set of opportunities while maintaining a well-defined and rigorous risk management framework.

A multi-strategy approach that drives results

Over the years we’ve developed a disciplined approach to multi-strategy investing. Our flagship hedge fund is composed of seven primary strategies.

  • Credit & Convertibles

    Long/short credit, short-end investment grade, high delta convert positions with a focus on quality

  • Fixed Income

    Canada & US rates, global cross currency basis, and relative value

  • Fundamental Equity

    Long/short and long-bias micro-cap

  • Event-Driven

    Mergers, capital structure arbitrage, corporate events

  • Structured Credit

    Bank capital relief, CLO trading/warehousing, secured lending, and special situations

  • Commodities

    Relative value via commodity-linked derivative instruments

  • Equity Arbitrage

    SPACs and closed-end funds

Disciplined risk management for times of change

We don’t take risk when risk doesn’t pay well. Capital preservation is paramount to us. We use software to augment our investment processes and have developed comprehensive risk controls that align with our risk appetite. We consider our investment professionals as ambassadors of our risk culture.

“We don’t take risks when risk doesn’t pay well.”
