Bay Harbour Management ('BHM') is a longstanding veteran of distressed securities markets. We launched our flagship fund in 1990and work to provide strong portfolio returns with mitigated downside volatility through investments ranging from depressed priced credit to passive and control distressed, special situations and 'orphaned' equity. While most investing is passive, we have run several highly complicated restructurings over the past decade and bring to bear considerable experience with respect to the process of distressed investing. Our extensive process and ownership experience greatly informs the diligence of traditional distressed investment opportunties. BHM's two senior managing partners have worked together since 1996 and are supported by a team of eight investment professionals. We maintain a robust operational infrastructure and an entrepreneurial investment environment. We operate in a hedge fund structure, we do not use leverage and have actively hedged our portfolios since 2003. We manage approximately USD 1.35 billion and have been an SEC Registered Investment Advisor since 1989.

It is in Bridgewater's DNA to innovate, unshackled by conventions. As a result, over the past thirty years, Bridgewater has helped pioneer investment strategies such as currency overlay management, the seperation of alpha and beta, and inflation-linked bond management. Bridgewater began managing assets in its optimal alpha strategy, Pure Alpha, in 1991 and, in its optimal beta strategy, All Weather, in 1996. Bridgewater has 563 employees, one third of whom are engaged research and trading. Bridgewater manages approximately USD 140 billion in global investments for a variety of institutional clients, including: foreign governments and central banks, corporate and public pension funds, university endowments and charitable foundations. We believe that the best way to manage money is to seperate investment alpha (returns from active management) from beta (returns from passively holding a portfolio) and then create optimal portfolios of each. Bridgewater's clients specify their desired targetted risk levels, we replicate that benchmark and then follow a fundemental, systemic investment process to generate alpha.
