Companies	Position	End
Simran Capital Management LLC Simran Capital Management LLC Investment ManagersFinance Simran Capital Management focuses on undervalued investment opportunities in the mid-market high yield and distressed credit environments. They are a pre-event driven activist manager that uses a proprietary method to find value and minimize risk in the universe of high-yield and distressed bonds. They seek to deliver consistent returns while employing one of the more risk-averse investment strategies in the industry. Their Recovery Valuation Approach incorporates numerous proprietary statistical tools and comprehensive investment banking financial models to identify global investment opportunities in the credit markets by analyzing credit valuations in their worst case recovery valuation scenarios. Simran's core strategy includes a three-tiered credit research approach. First, they employ a proprietary statistical screening tool to screen the global high yield universe to identify credits as rich or cheap. Next, their research process focuses on investment banking valuation work which leads them to generate a favorable or unfavorable opinion on each given credit. In this step, a raw recovery model is also built for each security. After this fundamental analysis, if Simran continues to see value, they undertake an assessment of market dynamics and technicals to pinpoint ideal entry and exit targets for each security.
