Venor maintains a flexible approach to portfolio construction in order to take advantage of the most attractive risk/reward profile regardless of the underlying market environment. Venor invests in value and event-driven opportunities across corporate capital structures. All else being equal, the Firm’s preference is to invest higher in the capital structure – such as in corporate bonds, bank loans, and other fixed-income securities; however, Venor will opportunistically invest in equities if the Firm believes the asymmetry justifies the additional risk. Venor primarily invests in stressed or distressed corporate situations in the U.S. and Western Europe, and seeks to achieve attractive risk-adjusted returns through a combi- nation of process-driven, bottom-up security research and disciplined trading and risk management procedures.
