Thesis
The firm manages assets through vehicles like the Manikay Master Fund and Manikay Merger Fund. The Master Fund employs trading, arbitrage, and long/short strategies, with the latter focusing on global businesses with strong fundamentals and attractive valuations, while shorting frauds and fads. The Merger Fund concentrates on global merger arbitrage and related opportunities, investing in common stock and potentially preferred stock and debt of companies undergoing corporate reorganizations. They utilize equity-related instruments, often with leverage, and invest in non-U.S. securities, including emerging markets. As of December 31, 2018, they managed approximately $2.398 billion, with more recent estimates placing AUM at $2.51 billion. The firm has offices in New York and Sydney. A notable legal issue involved an employee or advisory affiliate being involved in a violation of SEC or CFTC regulations.
