Melqart Asset Management - London

Hello all,

Hope you are surviving the summer! Anyone has any insides on these guys? They seem to do a bunch of cool stuff, which I assume is because they have a very flexible mandate. Last data point I got was £3.7Bn AuM, and c.30 people (15 back-office).

Any insides on returns, comps, founders, culture, etc?

Thank you

Their distressed guys are legit - sharp, understand restructuring dynamics, and seem to get pretty in the weeds on names.
