Description

Founded in 1981, the firm has delivered strong returns to its investors throughout its history by developing and applying analytical insights to exploit structural, cyclical, and situational dislocations that create opportunity for pricing advantage.  Most of the investments made by the firm – including many joint ventures – come from leveraging relationships created over many years.
