Archer Capital Management (ACM) employs a middle-market distressed and special situation investment strategy by investing in a wide range of financial instruments and securities, including syndicated bank debt, high yield bonds, non-performing distressed fixed income securities, equities and convertible securities. In addition, the firm may invest in mortgage notes, trade claims, leases, privately-sourced bank debt, non-performing loan portfolios, and other equity and credit instruments. At certain times in the business cycle, ACM may target investments in distressed securities where ownership positions in enterprises can be created at significant discounts to long-term intrinsic value and active involvement in restructuring may be used as a catalyst to value realization. Their clients may leverage their portfolios through margin and other debt. ACM may invest in foreign issuers and currencies. They also may invest in high yield bonds and preferred stocks, as well as securities in lower rating categories and in unrated securities. The objective of the funds managed by ACM is to achieve superior risk-adjusted returns over the business cycle primarily by investing in middle-market distressed and special situations debt and equity securities. The investment objectives and restrictions of the funds may vary by target position sizes, portfolio concentration and exposures, projected holding periods and other factors. ACM's objectives, strategies and policies may evolve over time based on conditions and trends in the financial and securities markets and the economy in general.
