Carlson Capital (UK) LLP
Carlson Capital (UK) LLP Investment ManagersFinance Carlson-UK follows a non-directional, multi-strategy investment approach. One of their domains of expertise is merger arbitrage. They tend to prefer strategic acquisitions over LBO transactions and look for hedging opportunities within the entire capital structure, including equity, debt, convertibles and credit derivatives such as credit default swaps. They may offset single-name credit default swaps with an opposite position in a credit default swap index. The firm uses a combination of short equity indexes, short credit instruments and a short basket of financial stocks to hedge their portfolio of takeover stocks. | Chief Executive Officer | - |
