We look across the credit spectrum and dynamically allocate capital where we see the best opportunities and risk-adjusted returns
Casey is responsible for credit strategies at O’Connor. Credit strategies have core to the firm’s global multi-strategy portfolio and an asset class O’Connor has invested in for over 20 years.
As a hedge fund manager, O’Connor sees opportunities in credit is because its an asset class dominated by long-only liability managers (pension funds, insurance companies and long-only mutual funds).
This provides more relative value opportunities for O’Connor, as these investors have a very different utility curve and can only go long. In addition, there are very few dedicated hedge funds in credit that can take advantage of these opportunities.
