Talamod Asset Management's primary investment objective is to achieve long-term returns that exceed the risk-free rate of return regardless of overall conditions in the loan, debt and equity markets. The Talamod Master Fund seeks to achieve this investment objective primarily by purchasing loans, debt, equity and similar instruments, and contracts, hedges and synthetics with respect to such instruments. The fund may use swap contracts and over-the-counter options in an effort to augment the returns on its investments. On occasion, fund assets may be pledged as collateral or otherwise borrowed against to obtain leverage. Most of the fund’s investments are in mature companies with complex balance sheets that are facing challenges such as a crisis of confidence, significant corporate restructuring or recapitalization, a major litigation, legislative or regulatory change or a cyclical business trough. Many companies are financially distressed and may be experiencing significant financial or business difficulties (including companies involved in bankruptcy or other reorganization and liquidation proceedings). Through fundamental research and analysis, Talamod first analyzes the enterprise, applying standard value investing and private company valuation techniques. The firm the analyzes the security, claim or other instrument within the company’s capital structure and invests only if they conclude that the instrument should provide an adequate return for the risk.
