Our organization was founded in 1976 and is a global financial services company that offers an extensive range of capabilities within active management. The driving force of our success has been our culture of intensive analysis, while we use our patented methodology "Private Market Value with catalyst", also intensive in analysis. As active stock pickers, today, the keys to our success are the same as those that prevailed in 1976: a focus on fundamental bottom-up analysis, a consistent investment process and a commitment to search for returns adjusted to the higher risk. Today,
Gabelli has managed portfolios dedicated to merger arbitration since 1985. Our strategy is an extension of our "Private Market Value with Catalyst" approach to value investment . Mergers and acquisitions tend to be a way out of a long idea as a result of a catalyst that has arisen around the companies that we analyze and that ultimately invest in the equity part with long positions and value bias of our business. We feel that investing in unleveraged merger arbitrage is a great alternative for cash and a logical alternative to fixed income in an environment with potential interest rate hikes. In the last thirty years that our firm has managed this strategy, the objective and the results have generated an alpha higher than the risk free rate. With an absolute return that has no correlation with the market. We have achieved this by generating risk-adjusted returns that are independent of the bulk of the market, and with the accumulation of these positive returns in the long term, while offering a solution with lower volatility that can also provide downward protection in more turbulent market conditions.
In 2011, the firm took its merger arbitration strategy within the framework of UCITS, and the investment team continues to manage the UCITS fund at the same pace as our onshore strategy that was first launched in 1985.
