ABOUT US OUR STRATEGIES LEADERSHIP TEAM CAREERS CONTACT LOGIN Empyrean Capital Partners, LP is an event-oriented, multi-strategy investment manager headquartered in Los Angeles, with an office in New York. Empyrean seeks to identify companies going through transformative events and/or securities exhibiting price dislocations and strives to generate attractive absolute investment returns with moderate volatility and low beta to the S&P 500. 01 ABOUT US Amos Meron co-founded Empyrean Capital Partners, LP in 2004 with two objectives: preserve capital in a variety of market environments, and, provide our clients attractive risk-adjusted returns in event-oriented opportunities in which inefficiencies or mispricings exist. Empyrean is a multi-billion dollar investment manager with over 17 years of experience and what it believes are some of the best investment minds in the country. Investors in our strategies include corporate and public pensions, endowments/ foundations, family offices/high-net worth persons, sovereign wealth funds, and other institutional investors. 02 OUR INVESTMENT STRATEGIES Empyrean employs a fundamentally-oriented, fully integrated, multi-disciplinary approach to event-oriented investing, and aims to protect and grow investors’ assets by seeking to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns. EVENT-DRIVEN APPROACH Empyrean seeks to invest in situations where identifiable catalysts exist which can unlock value and close the gap between market value and intrinsic value. We strive to find idiosyncratic opportunities, including those less-trafficked or exhibiting asymmetric returns. Potential sources of event opportunities include corporate transactions and complex market, regulatory, or legal events. Our investment process is characterized by rigorous “bottom-up” fundamental research and analysis. CROSS-ASSET CLASS CAPABILITIES Empyrean’s investment team has expertise in a variety of special situation strategies across asset classes, including equity, credit, and convertible securities. A flexible investing approach allows us to express an investment thesis through securities offering the best risk-reward in our assessment. BETA-NEUTRAL PORTFOLIO We maintain a low beta mandate, as we believe situation-specific risk is better for clients than directional risk. MODERATELY CONCENTRATED PORTFOLIO We focus risk through a moderately concentrated single portfolio with capital concentrated in our highest conviction ideas. RISK MANAGEMENT Risk management is an integral part of the investment process. The risk management process is intended to balance a “bottom-up” approach to security selection with portfolio level risk filters, and guidelines, and a variety of credit, equity, and volatility hedging strategies are utilized in an effort to reduce market exposure. A STEWARD OF CAPITAL The investors in our strategy include some of the world’s leading institutional investors, including corporate and public pensions, academic endowments, charitable foundations, and sovereign wealth funds. Our investment philosophy strives to preserve the capital that our investors rely on for the future, while growing investor assets to meet their goals. 03 OUR LEADERSHIP TEAM AMOS MERON Managing Partner & Chief Investment Officer Amos Meron co-founded Empyrean Capital Partners in 2004.
