Sagamore's primary goals are preservation of capital and minimal correlation with equity and fixed-income markets. The firm focuses on relative value strategies, specifically convertible arbitrage, risk arbitrage, pairs trading, distressed securities and capital structure arbitrage. In its relative-value strategies, Sagamore uses mathematical/statistical and fundamental techniques in an attempt to identify sets of long and short positions intended to capture market mispricings. These trades typically involve taking long and short positions in closely related instruments, the price movements of which are anticipated to be significantly correlated. Their relative value strategies are enhanced by analysis of risk, appropriate hedging strategies and risk management.
