YORK CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

Event-Driven

Three sub-strategies.
One established solution.

Dependable

Target structurally lower and more stable beta, and limit macro and factor exposures

BALANCED

Differentiated

Target significantly reduced exposure to crowded trades and increased international exposure to take advantage of York’s global capabilities

THE EXPERIENCE OF

45

investment
professionals globally

York’s suite of Event-Driven products brings
together our global investment capabilities
and network to seek to capture alpha across three
value-creating events:
Arbitrage

Seeking to capitalize
on uncertainties
related to M&A deal
completion

Special
Situations

Anticipating or reacting to
major corporate
changes and seeking
to take advantage
of the inefficiencies they create

Opportunistic Credit

Seeking to capture idiosyncratic
value across stressed
credits, bankruptcies,
liquidations and
restructurings

Benefit from
collaboration across
borders.

Each of our strategies seeks to benefit from synergies across our global team, which has an intimate grasp of cultural and jurisdictional dynamics.

 

Our Event-Driven is distinguished by:

  • Longevity and established
    presence in key markets

    Seeking to solidify trust and a reputation as a quality shareholder across regions.

  • Thoughtful, constructive
    engagement with businesses

    Seeking to ensure companies recognize the value of working with York across the world.

  • Deep local-market understanding
    with global reach

    Seeking to navigate the legal/political complexities driving cross-border opportunities.

We look for windows of inefficiency. These
windows can be as narrow as two hours
or as wide as two years, and often involve the
timely analysis of vast sets of data and catalysts.
