Accelerate Arbitrage Fund

Overview

The Accelerate Arbitrage Fund is a Canadian investment fund that specializes in arbitrage strategies, aiming to generate consistent, low-volatility returns. The fund primarily invests in listed equity, debt, or derivative securities of target companies involved in mergers or corporate actions, while selling short certain listed equity, debt, or derivative securities of acquirer companies involved in mergers or corporate actions, where applicable. This approach seeks to exploit pricing inefficiencies between target and acquirer companies during corporate events. The fund employs event-driven investment strategies, including SPAC arbitrage and merger arbitrage, to achieve its investment objectives. SPAC arbitrage involves acquiring shares or units of a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) at or below its net asset value (NAV) to generate returns through exits at a premium to NAV once the SPAC announces a business combination or through redemption before the deal vote or liquidation of the SPAC. Merger arbitrage focuses on investing in securities of companies involved in mergers or corporate actions, aiming to profit from the price discrepancies between the target and acquirer companies. By utilizing these strategies, the Accelerate Arbitrage Fund aims to provide investors with a diversified portfolio that seeks to deliver attractive risk-adjusted returns, leveraging opportunities in the global market for arbitrage transactions.
