PSAM focuses on investing in catalyst-driven transactions to generate absolute returns. The firm utilizes a disciplined investment process based on fundamental research to analyze announced corporate events that are expected to alter the control, capital structure or corporate strategy of an organization. They believe these announced events can create mispricing of securities relative to their inherent or ultimate realizable value. PSAM employs three main investment strategies: Merger Arbitrage, Distressed/Stressed Credit Opportunities and Special Situations. They are agnostic as to where in the capital structure an investment is made and allocated to each strategy and geography opportunistically.
