Private Equity Management

Market Opportunity

Akita Partners employs event-driven strategies to generate profits.  It will take advantage of situations in which the underlying investment opportunity and risk are associated with an event. Akita finds investment opportunities in corporate transactional events, such as consolidations, acquisitions, recapitalizations, bankruptcies, and liquidations. Akita capitalizes on valuation inconsistencies in the market before or after such events, and takes a position based on the predicted movement of the security or securities in question. Akita has the expertise and resources to analyze corporate transactional events for investment opportunities and generate a profitable return.
 

Key Risks
 

Akita’s strategy shares many of the same types of risk as other investment classes, including liquidity risk and manager risk.  Liquidity refers to the degree to which an asset can be bought and sold or converted to cash; similar to private equity funds, Akita does not employ a lock-up period during which an investor cannot remove money. Manager risk refers to those risks which arise from the management of funds. As well as specific risks such as style drift, which refers to a fund manager "drifting" away from an area of specific expertise, manager risk factors include valuation risk, and leverage risk.
 

Return Objectives

Akita Partners targets a 15% return objective for a 12 month period.
