Prosiris Capital Management seeks to maximize total return primarily through investments in undervalued credit and structured finance assets and related markets. The firm has expertise in structured credit trading, which historically has involved taking long and short positions in illiquid and liquid credit instruments. The funds invest primarily in performance and distressed structured finance assets, corporate, municipal and sovereign credit, equities, and derivatives. Most of these structured finance securities are tranched investments with each tranche occupying a different position in seniority with respect to receiving cashflows and absorbing losses from the pool of assets. In addition to CDOs, CLOs, MBS and ABS, Prosiris may invest in: project and infrastructure finance; aircraft and equipment finance; intellectual property securitizations; future flow securitizations; and student loans. The funds may also purchase, or obtain synthetic exposure to, debt or equity securities of the obligors, investors, servicers, or credit enhancers of structured finance securities, sovereign or municipal issuers or of other entities which Prosiris believes are mispriced. Prosiris employs an integrated risk management approach. Sources of risk, such as foreign exchange, counterparty and/or sovereign exposure across a portfolio of structured credit and corporate credit assets, are identified and aggregated, and, if appropriate, hedged. In addition, Prosiris dynamically targets and seeks to hedge systemic risks by exploiting asymmetric short opportunities through credit, mortgage, and equity indices to reduce volatility, enhance positive convexity, and protect assets against adverse market conditions.
