Elevation Event-Driven & Special Situations

What We Do:

Through comprehensive analysis and collaboration, our Event-Driven and Special Situations group evaluates and provides commentary and analysis on the potential return profiles of corporate repositioning.

Our Event-Driven area assesses announced mergers and acquisitions of publicly traded securities and makes recommendations for clients based on the group’s evaluation of prospective advantages.

Our Special Situations area assesses potential corporate restructurings (spin-offs, split-offs, liquidations, bankruptcies, etc.) and makes recommendations for clients based on the group’s evaluation of prospective advantages. 

This group executes equity and equity option trades for clients based on the aforementioned assessment areas.

We Strive To:

  • Approach analysis systematically by identifying key facts, reviewing market precedent, and analyzing a combination of scenarios.
  • Take advantage of timely, event-driven situations and produce actionable client propositions with the best possible return profiles.
  • Closely monitor the life cycle of corporate transactions for future arbitrage opportunities and for the dissemination of real-time responses.
  • Respond quickly to changing events, spread movements, and other fluctuations of publicly available data.
  • Provide institutional clients with dedicated and experienced equity traders whose track records demonstrate excellence in execution.
  • Deliver a complete picture of emerging opportunities with an emphasis on exceptional customer service.

What We Deliver:

  • Significant and measurable value enhancement of client portfolios.
  • Composite opportunity analysis that includes insight from industry and transaction experts.
  • Institutional investment analysis that uses data as the critical output.
  • Cross-border execution and augmentation of a client’s existing trading desk.
  • Direct access to our robust network of antitrust attorneys, political advisors, industry consultants, and lobbyists.
  • Around-the-clock, premier customer service.
