Event Driven Multi-strategy




Because of its concern with micro triggering events, this family of strategies is also sometimes called ''bottom up'' as opposed to ''top down''.

Sometimes an event-driven hedge fund will focus upon one of those bottom-up strategies in particular, in which case it may be referred to as a Risk Arbitrage , a Distressed Securities , or a Regulation D fund, whichever name then applies.

But event-driven multi-strategy funds, as the term implies, can keep a finger in each of those pies. This provides diversification and evens out results over the Business Cycle , because while merger-oriented funds (i.e. risk arbitrageurs) and Regulation D funds (concerns with small-cap securities issuance) are busiest during times of boom, the distressed-securities strategy finds amplest opportuntiies during times of bust.
