Investment Strategy

Westchester Capital Management, LLC focuses on merger arbitrage and event-driven strategies. The firm's flagship mandates seek to exploit price inefficiencies following M&A announcements and other corporate events, investing primarily in publicly announced mergers, takeovers, and other event-driven opportunities. It utilizes proprietary research to evaluate the likelihood of deal completions and capitalizes on spreads between target prices and deal offer prices. The approach is designed to provide returns that are generally uncorrelated to broader equity and fixed income markets, seeking risk-adjusted performance regardless of market direction.
