Event-Driven/Risk Arbitrage Research

MKM Partners’ Event-Driven research team closely follows the universe of event-driven opportunities to generate value-added research and actionable recommendations for clients. Our advice is aimed at enhancing client portfolio returns while helping clients manage and control risk.

Event-Driven Universe
Research from the Event-Driven team covers the following areas:

• Risk arbitrage
• Special situations
• Spin-offs
• Reorganizations and recapitalizations
• Distressed/high yield opportunities
• Closed-end funds
• Convertible opportunities
• Other event-driven opportunities

MKM's Event-Driven Research Process

MKM clients have access to the following research:

• Daily event-driven updates
• Specific action/recommendation reports
• New M&A deal sheets
• Reports highlighting notable spread changes
• Weekly summaries of the universe of event-driven opportunities

MKM's Competitive Edge
Unlike most event-driven research departments, MKM Partners does not engage in proprietary trading, and therefore does not compete with client orders. Further, very few sell-side firms provide clients with specific event-driven investment recommendations. MKM Partners provides clients with customized recommendations and ideas on individual positions, as well as advice to help manage and control portfolio risk.

Our Event-Driven research team has more than 50 years of buy- and sell-side experience and works closely with MKM Partners’ trading desk and sales/traders to offer clients efficient research and execution capability.
