Millstreet Capital Management LLC
 Millstreet Capital Management LLC Investment ManagersFinance Millstreet seeks to generate attractive absolute returns that are uncorrelated to traditional asset classes over a full market cycle. They employ a long/short, fundamentally driven, value-oriented investment strategy with an emphasis on catalysts. The firm looks to opportunistically invest in a diversified portfolio of long and short investments in the more inefficient small-to-mid cap segment of the corporate fixed income market and specifically securities with higher yield characteristics. Their research process is based on top-down and bottom-up fundamental analysis of both long and short investments and an evaluation of the relative merits of each investment. | Founder | 2009-12-31 |
