| The Fixed Income Contrarian |
Horizon Research Group |
| The Fixed Income Contrarian identifies fixed income strategies ranging from high-yield investments to capital structure arbitrage opportunities. Recommendations in distressed securities include situations where the insolvency implied by the price of a particular security lies in direct contrast with Horizon's view of financial recovery. The report will also identify debt securities that present intrinsic recovery value for pre-petition creditors through the conversion of corporate debt to equity. Additionally, the service will examine and identify debt securities that exhibit an asymmetrically favorable risk/return profile, due to relative mispricing within a capital structure. Strategies employed will provide a high return in the positive case, but with limited or well-defined limit of loss in the negative case. Generally, the abridgment of risk is achieved through na arbitrage or hedge transaction with a second or even third security, typically within the capital structure of the same company. |

| Whisperer Empirical Research |
Whisperer Empirical Research |
Whisperer Empirical Investment Research focuses on a range of events and special situations that are significantly mispriced and misunderstood by the markets. The approach focuses on opaque, difficult-to price situations with sufficient liquidity and attractive risk/reward characteristics. These situations can include capital structure arbitrage, non-traditional merger arbitrage, spin-offs, structured securities, FDA approval, and merger option pricing. Driving the research process is an examination of fundamental and market inputs in order to identify and evaluate anomalous or perceived mispricing with a rigorous and unique blended approach to equity-and-equity-derivative to credit-and-credit-derivative (cross-market) valuation processes. Whisperer Empirical takes the best of corporate finance and fundamental DCF valuation, situational and legal analysis, and combines them with a quantitative / computational finance approach to back engineering security prices and assumptions, leading to timely and accurate market-input-informed fundamental valuations. |
