ARB Profile
The fund is structured to capture the returns generated by a global merger arbitrage strategy, which involves profiting from price differentials that arise during corporate mergers and acquisitions. This approach typically involves taking long positions in the target company's stock and short positions in the acquirer's stock to capitalize on the price convergence as the merger progresses. By investing predominantly in index constituents and financial instruments closely mirroring these holdings, such as swaps, the fund aims to replicate the index's performance while managing risk.
Given its non-diversified nature, the fund may concentrate its investments in a smaller number of securities compared to diversified funds. This strategy allows the fund managers to focus on maximizing returns from specific merger arbitrage opportunities identified within the index. Additionally, the fund may employ leverage, using borrowed funds for investment purposes, to enhance potential returns, although this also entails increased risk. Investors in the fund benefit from exposure to a specialized strategy designed to capitalize on corporate restructuring events globally, aiming to provide returns that correlate closely with the performance of the merger arbitrage index over time.
