解释:
A merger arbitrage hedge fund strategy is permiited to invest.
A merger arbitrage hedge fund strategy is an example of an event-driven strategy, which is permitted under the board’s mandate. Event-driven hedge fund strategies focus on corporate events, such as governance events, mergers and acquisitions, bankruptcy, and other key events for corporations. Merger arbitrage involves simultaneously purchasing and selling the stocks of two merging companies to create “riskless” profits.
convertible bond arbitrage 不可以吗? 董事会不是说relative value也可以吗?
