These strategies consist of various fundamental value, event driven, debt-oriented strategies including distressed securities, high yield, capital structure arbitrage, senior bank debt, and loan origination, as well as merger arbitrage and traditional long/short equity. Sandalwood’s multi-manager, multi-strategy credit investment approach to investing seeks to provide high net worth individuals and institutional investors the opportunity to increase total portfolio return while reducing the risk of a significant loss of capital. Sandalwood seeks to accomplish this by making asset allocations to alternative invest- ment strategies, such as multi-strategy credit, that are not meaningfully correlated to the stock and bond markets. 101 Eisenhower Parkway, 3rd Floor Roseland, NJ 07068 Telephone: 973-233-8800 Email:
