Range
North Pole Multi-Strategy is a tax-efficient fund with exposure to the North Pole Mandate, a broadly diversified Canadian and U.S. portfolio that employs a variety of strategies including event driven opportunities, structured products arbitrage, distressed securities, long/short equities and other opportunities. The Mandate seeks to deliver absolute returns, while providing capital preservation and low volatility in all market environments.


Strategy
A multi-strategy mandate where allocations are managed within target ranges and predicated on market opportunities.

Sub-strategies include: convertible arbitrage, credit arbitrage, merger arbitrage, warrant arbitrage, special situations, quantitative arbitrage, micro–cap trading, structured products arbitrage, Canadian distressed securities, long/short equities.



Objectives
North Pole seeks to inexpensively acquire volatility from multiple, uncorrelated sources in order to produce absolute returns for investors in all market conditions.


Unique Offerings
Few managers have the proper combination of skills to manage a multi-strategy hedge fund and the infrastructural resources to successfully deploy capital across a broad range of strategies.

The strategies themselves can be differentiated from our peers by the well-defined structure and parameters that control risks, while allowing the portfolio manager to identify uncorrelated arbitrage opportunities and earn returns.

While individual strategies may experience market periods where the style or approach may be "out of step" or "out-of-favour", there will most often be strategies within the portfolio taking advantage of the same environment. Diversification within strategies further moderates risk.
