Overview
Aristeia Capital is an alternative asset manager focused on relative-value and corporate-credit strategies. Its work across convertibles and capital structures is relevant to corporate events in which different securities issued by the same company respond differently to financing, restructuring, or strategic change.
Convertible arbitrage requires analysis of credit, equity optionality, volatility, documentation, borrow availability, and hedging costs. These same capabilities can support investments around recapitalizations, exchanges, acquisitions, and other event-driven dislocations. Within The Economy Wiki, the institution is connected to the Event-Driven & Special Situations Hedge Funds category.
