Polygon Investment Partners is a London-based alternative investment management firm specializing in a variety of investment strategies across global markets. Known for its multi-strategy approach, the firm seeks to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns for its investors, which include pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, endowments, foundations, and other institutional clients.

Established in 2002, Polygon has cultivated a reputation for its experienced investment team and rigorous, research-driven investment process. The firm is structured around specialized teams, each focusing on specific areas such as equity market neutral, event-driven investing, credit strategies, and structured credit. This division of labor allows for deep expertise and focused analysis within each asset class.

A key element of Polygon’s investment philosophy is its emphasis on fundamental research. The firm employs a team of experienced analysts who conduct in-depth due diligence on companies and markets, seeking to identify undervalued opportunities and mitigate potential risks. This research is then integrated with sophisticated risk management techniques to construct diversified portfolios designed to withstand market volatility.

Polygon’s equity market neutral strategy aims to generate returns irrespective of the overall direction of the market. This is typically achieved by taking both long and short positions in equities, attempting to profit from the relative performance of different companies or sectors. Event-driven strategies, on the other hand, focus on profiting from corporate events such as mergers, acquisitions, restructurings, and bankruptcies. These strategies often require significant analytical expertise to assess the potential outcomes and associated risks of these events.

In the credit space, Polygon invests across the credit spectrum, from investment-grade bonds to high-yield debt and distressed securities. The firm’s credit analysts assess the creditworthiness of issuers and analyze the underlying fundamentals of the businesses they finance. Structured credit strategies involve investing in complex securities such as collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) and asset-backed securities (ABS). These strategies require a deep understanding of the underlying assets and the structures used to create these securities.

Polygon Investment Partners operates in a highly competitive industry and continually adapts to evolving market conditions. The firm’s commitment to research, risk management, and a diversified approach has been instrumental in its success. By attracting and retaining talented investment professionals and fostering a culture of collaboration, Polygon seeks to deliver consistent and attractive returns for its investors over the long term. The firm is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in the United Kingdom.
