Sandell Asset Management Corp.
Sandell Asset Management Corp. is a leading private, alternative asset management firm specializing in global corporate event-driven, multi-strategy investing with a strong focus on equity special situations and credit opportunities. Sandell has offices in New York and London, including a global staff of investment professionals, and operational infrastructure specialists. Thomas Sandell, Chief Executive Officer and Portfolio Manager, founded Sandell Asset Management in 1998 after spending the previous eight years at Bear, Stearns & Co. where he was hired to establish and run a proprietary international arbitrage business and ultimately co-headed the department. Tom has been investing in global corporate events since the late 1980s. The funds seek to identify the most fundamentally attractive hard-catalyst corporate events, wherever they may exist globally. Our investment philosophy employs a best ideas approach, where capital is allocated opportunistically, and is dynamic with regard to geography or sector diversification. Sandell maintains a global mandate, allowing access to less crowded and inefficient markets that potentially provide higher margins. The most attractive risk/reward opportunities are included in the portfolio. Our investment team's differentiated expertise, through our extensive history as event driven investors, has been in sourcing opportunities in a variety of global developed markets. The firm's experience, combined with our relationships in local markets, has been derived from many years of accumulated experience which provide a tremendous edge in idea generation, research and execution.
