Merger Arbitrage LImited manages a successful Merger Arbitrage (Risk Arbitrage) investment fund using multiple variants of the traditional merger arbitrage strategy. These special situations variant strategies combine to reduce correlation with the broader market making this fund an ideal complementary investment to a traditional portfolio.
The fund continuously looks for new opportunities and strategies in addition to developing additional arbitrage investment strategies such as Stat Arb and relative value. These quantitative arbitrage systems are uncorrelated with market returns and produce a superior risk / return profile. I code strategies in R and Visual Studio, although various arbitrage and event driven situations require additional manual oversight to optimize execution and performance.

I design, back-test and produce a walk-forward analysis of quantitative strategies using a combination of R, Visual Studio & VBA. Secondly, I program these strategies into an automated system combining advanced techniques in both Excel and R. Lastly, I monitor the strategies as part of a continuous feedback loop to improve performance. |

Whereas they have now widened to more attractive levels following market turbulence. See here for more current info https://mergerarbitragelimited.com/spreads/
