Hello and welcome to the latest AFI podcast, taking you inside the key trends shaping the $5trn-plus global hedge fund industry.
This week we have a special interview with Paul Glazer, founder of New York hedge fund firm Glazer Capital, founded in 1999, which now runs about $2.5 billion. The firm started with a merger arbitrage strategy and has since expanded to include a special purpose acquisition (SPAC) strategy and a convertible bonds strategy.
In its 27-year-history, the firm has never had a down year. Glazer Capital has a 50-person team working on its strategies which makes it one of the largest teams dedicated to merger arbitrage on Wall Street.
