Gates Capital makes fund investments based on cash flow generation, focusing on event-driven equities and debt. The firm seeks to buy securities which trade at a significant discount to their intrinsic value and to shorten securities that trade well above their intrinsic value. They invest in situations where a reason for a valuation discrepancy is identified and deemed temporary. Gates Capital utilizes risk management tools to preserve assets in volatile markets. The risk management tools employed include liquidity requirements, limits on leverage and portfolio concentration, and use of options to protect positions.

Steadfast Financial seeks to generate attractive rates of return over a long period of time by investing primarily in publicly traded securities, both long and short, but with a bias toward “long” investments.
