Multiple Strategies

Quantitative Trading

The use of quantitative analysis and mathematical models to analyze the change in price and volume of a security. Mathematical models and computations are used to collect and analyze data with a rapid throughput rate on investment opportunities. Quantitative techniques include statistical arbitrage, algorithmic trading, and high-frequency trading.

Opportunistic investing

Aims to generate returns by active engagement with a company’s board of directors to affect corporate change. Typically invests in equities, corporate and structured credit, and venture capital strategies taking a significant minority stake in a publicly traded company in order to change how it is run. The goal is to create a catalyst or triggering event that will increase shareholder value and result in stock price appreciation.

Private Equity & Credit

The goal is to be an influencing stakeholder without changing underlying values and motivations, building a partnership with management and the board of directors allowing to initiate and often implement value-added strategies that enhance shareholder returns.

A long-term perspective allows to take a partnership approach with management teams whose time horizons are similar to our own. The strategy is to limit investments to a relatively small number of the best opportunities and to focus efforts on adding value to those portfolio companies.

Private Investment in Public Equity (PIPE)

Purchasing stock in a company at a discount to the current market value per share for their purpose of raising capital. There are two main types of PIPEs – traditional and structured. A traditional PIPE is one in which stock, either common or preferred, is issued at a set price to raise capital for the issuer. A structured PIPE, on the other hand, issues convertible debt (common or preferred shares). PIPEs provide for small- to medium-sized public companies, which have a hard time accessing more traditional forms of equity financing.

Late-stage Venture-backed Companies

Investing in late-stage, venture-backed private companies that are backed by venture capital firms, provides investors large and small with an opportunity to capture the potential value appreciation within this exciting asset class. Late stage venture capital are investments that occur after a venture-backed company has developed its product, proved that there is a market opportunity, has meaningful revenues and is close to having a potential exit (liquidity event) such as the sale of the company or an initial public offering.
