Distressed Securities
Briseis distressed-securities trading strategies are rooted in complexity. To create value in complex, dynamic situations, distressed securities are highly dependent on deep specialist skills and an intensive hands-on appraoch. Our primary focus is uncorrelated situations governed by process, complexity, negotiations, and factors unrelated to the forces impacting stocks and bonds.
Equity Focussed
Briseis takes equity-oriented positions in several of its strategies and takes on such positions in a variety of forms. It is less common for the firm to take on long equity positions which are just driven by valuation considerations. Briseis seeks out positions which are uncorrelated with other positions in the portfolio or with the risks and expected price movements of equities generally, or where value and protection against risk can be enhanced by the firm’s manual efforts.
Hedge/Arbitrage
A portion of Briseis’s portfolio is what is referred to as hedge/arbitrage positions. This strategy is comprised of event arbitrage, related securities arbitrage, convertible arbitrage, volatility arbitrage and fixed-income arbitrage.
Hedge/arbitrage are designed to take advantage of small anomalies between similar or related instruments on an opportunistic basis and to assist in achieving overall portfolio risk management goals.
Non-Distressed Debt
Non-Distressed debt includes first lien bank debt, unsecured corporate debt which Briseis believes will be serviced without restructuring, and structured credit products. These complex products often involve analyses of multiple layers of securitization. Briseis expertise in these products allows the firm to identify attractive relative-value situations where securities can be mispriced significantly. Briseis opportunistic approach and experienced team enable Briseis to delve deeply and quickly into areas of the credit markets which are under pressure.
Portfolio Volatility Protection
Portfolio Volatility Protection positions are intended to hedge Briseis portfolio against certain adverse market conditions, hedging individual positions against general market fluctuations as well as price volatility in various asset classes. Briseis uses various instruments within this strategy including credit, equity, volatility, interest rates, gold, and currency instruments.
Commodities Trading
Briseis’s commodities trading strategy arm, seeks to exploit mispricing in the forward curves of niche commodities, as well as taking directional positions based on its views of the prices levels and trends. Briseis primarily trades crude oil and oil products, natural gas, power, precious and base metals, and agricultural commodities.
Real Estate Related Securities
Briseis portfolio includes distressed securities, non-distressed debt, event arbitrage, and equity-oriented positions. Briseis approach is opportunistic and flexible – the firm will invest at any part of the capital structure, as well as in non-performing loans. Unlike traditional real estate investors, Briseis is drawn to distressed or otherwise unique and complex situations. Briseis seeks to apply the same process-driven, active management philosophy that has served the organisation well with other asset classes. Briseis multinational investment knowledge of the securitized commercial mortgage-backed markets (CMBS) supports Briseis real-estate-related securities and art assets, which enhances Briseis ability to identify relative-value trades and hedging strategies.
