Fellow Monkeys,
I'm trying to gather a list of event-driven funds in Europe, especially those taking minority positions in merger targets and then litigating for higher squeeze-out payments (or waiting for others to do so).
1) How would you categorize this? "Activist merger arbitrage" as a sub-set of event-driven?
2) Please help me populate my list: So far I confirmed the following funds to do this in Europe:
- Perry Capital
- Davidson Kempner
- DE Shaw
- York Capital
- Elliott
3) Can you confirm / rule out any of the following funds I found in various event-driven / special situations listings? Please comment if they engage in said practices and if so, in Europe?
- Point Frederick
- Glenhill
- Glenview
- Farallon
- Anchorage
- Third Point
- Corvex
- Marcato
- First Eagle (formerArnhold Bleichroeder)
- Polygon Global
- Brevan Howard
- Och-Ziff
- Highbridge
- GLG Partners
- Pershing Square
- Owl Creek
- any others you know of?
Thanks.
I'll SB as much and many as I can.
I think Golden Tree is another candidate for your list

Event-Driven Funds in Europe (Originally Posted: 05/22/2009)
The big players in the event-driven space are pretty well known this side of the pond (Farallon, Och-Ziff, Paulson...) Out of curiosity, does anyone know who the big players are over in London/Europe?
I would like to know too.
me as well...
