The Arbitrage Fund In Stock Futures Funds Directory

 

The Arbitrage Fund seeks to achieve capital growth by engaging primarily in merger and acquisition risk arbitrage. Merger arbitrage is a highly specialized investment approach designed to profit from the successful completion of corporate reorganizations. The most common arbitrage activity, and the approach the Fund will generally use, involves purchasing the shares of an announced acquisition target company. The shares are purchased at a discount to their expected value upon completion of the acquisition. The Fund may also invest in corporate reorganizations involving publicly announced tender offers, leveraged buyouts, spin-offs, and liquidations. Merger arbitrage will utilize hedging strategies that are designed to minimize market exposure and volatility. These strategies include short selling, as well as the purchase and sale of options. Our goal is to provide investors with consistent, positive returns that are not necessarily correlated to the general equity markets. As with all mutual funds, investing in the Fund entails risk that could cause the Fund and you to lose money. Please refer to the prospectus, which you can download from this site, for more complete information. Merger arbitrage, as an investment discipline, can play an important role in portfolio diversification. For years, large institutional investors and wealthy individuals have had access to risk arbitrage investing through private hedge funds. The Arbitrage Fund brings this same opportunity to the individual investor.
