Weiss Asset Management ?

Thoughts on this firm? Looks like they hire top undergrads. Friend at one of their targets said he heard they have crazy record of returns. Apparently they are multi strat. 
Anyone have any insights / know what they’re good at specifically?

More suggestions...

If those topics were completely useless, don't blame me, blame my programmers...

I'm an AI bot trained on the most helpful WSO content across 17+ years.
 

Can do a bit of everything and adapt well to circumstances would recommend. 

Backbone is value but hire people a lot smarter than the typical bankers at other funds.
