Adaly Opportunity Fund

This Fund is currently closed to new investment.

The Adaly Opportunity Fund is an attractive addition to most portfolios. The Fund is a limited partnership focused on opportunistic investing with the objective of generating absolute returns in most market environments. Trapeze Capital Corp., the advisor to the Fund, employs various strategies to achieve this objective, the majority of which fall into classifications known as "event-driven" and "special situations".

Investment Strategies

The most common event-driven investment approach is "risk arbitrage" (also known as deal or merger arbitrage), which focuses on corporate merger and acquisition (M&A) activity, wherein the Partnership invests in securities that are the targets of publicly-disclosed transactions. Other event-driven investments include companies considering Trapeze alternatives, as well as restructurings, recapitalizations ("recaps"), spin-outs, and liquidations.

Special situations typically refer to securities with very specific attributes that one would expect to supersede their correlation to general market direction. These securities might reflect a secular investment theme, or an unusual value or growth proposition. Special situations can also include short sales, new issues, and distressed securities.

The Fund also engages in various market-neutral strategies that can include statistical arbitrage, convertible hedging, balance sheet (or value) arbitrage, paired trades, hedged long/short positions and the use of options.
