Mid-Size Event Driven Equity/Credit Funds

Was curious if anyone has any perspective to give on the few mid-size funds out there that operate an event driven, cap structure agnostic mandate under one team/one PM. A lot of these places tend to keep a lower profile but thinking of places like HG Vora, Luxor, Senator, Empyrean, Owl Creek, Nokota, Nut Tree, etc. that have ~20% + of AUM in 13F securities.

Curious on how these places run from a risk/drawdown perspective and how they market themselves to allocator's given the portfolio balance can shift so much. 

Considering some of these funds returns over the past few years the ability to easily shift focus to event driven and value equities when distressed credit isn't attractive seems really attractive but a lot of the multi-strat funds like York, DK, King Street etc.have silos built and doesn't seem like analysts get as broad exposure.
