Elliott Management Corporation
Last Updated: 12/3/2020
Elliott Management Corporation is a Corporation that started in 1977 and is primarily owned and controlled by Paul Singer.
Per its brochure, Elliott employs a global, multi-strategy, hedged trading approach for the Funds that encompasses a broad range of strategies, including, without limitation, equity-oriented positions, private equity and private credit positions, distressed securities, non-distressed debt, hedge/arbitrage positions (including event arbitrage, related securities arbitrage, convertible arbitrage, volatility arbitrage and fixed income arbitrage), real estate-related securities positions, commodities trading, currency trading, basis trading and portfolio volatility protection positions. Elliott generally trades or invests in a wide variety of financial instruments, including, without limitation, stocks, bonds, swaps, options, futures, forwards, swaptions, private equity, and structured credit products, including mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, collateralized debt obligations, and correlation products. Elliott’s trading mandates are extremely broad, and encompass virtually every type of asset, investment interest, security or property (real or personal) which can be traded or purchased.
Most notably, Elliot often takes longer term activist stakes in companies, often in technology, replacing senior executives and selling assets before an exit plan that often involved a sale to private equity. Companies like Novell, Compuware, Alco, Cabela's, BMC, Informatica, and Citrix are some of the names that Elliot had previously targeted.
