Farallon seeks investments across asset classes and around the world through a process of bottom-up fundamental research and analysis emphasizing capital preservation. Their investment strategies include Credit Investments, Long/Short Equity, Merger Arbitrage, Risk Arbitrage, Real Estate Investments and Direct Investments. Investment ideas compete for capital based on in-depth, critical assessment of specific risks and rewards. Risk is monitored and managed through rigorous and thorough analysis of each investment and, at the portfolio level, through risk management analytics and overlay and tail-risk hedging.

CR&M maintains an investment philosophy that is distinguished by four key beliefs: fundamental research underlies all investment decisions; investment decisions should not be made lightly; a long-term approach; and the firm uses a system of multiple portfolio managers in managing most account and fund assets. The firm’s investment decisions are subject to a funds or account’s objectives, policies and restrictions and the oversight of the appropriate investment-related committees of the firm and their investment divisions. They typically build portfolios for funds and accounts from the bottom-up using rigorous fundamental research to find attractive investments and manage risks.
