Farallon seeks investments across asset classes and around the world through a process of bottom-up fundamental research and analysis emphasizing capital preservation. Their investment strategies include Credit, Long/Short Equity, Merger Arbitrage, Risk Arbitrage, Real Estate Investments and Strategic Capital. Investment ideas compete for capital based on in-depth, critical assessment of specific risks and rewards. Risk is monitored and managed through rigorous and thorough analysis of each investment and, at the portfolio level, through risk management analytics and overlay and tail-risk hedging.
Farallon targets European infrastructure primarily through real estate and healthcare assets. Rather than public utility or transport, the firm focuses on private investments and specialized property portfolios, aiming to capitalize on structural demographic needs.
