Investment policy

The Fund aims to maximize capital with focus on companies subject to extraordinary/special situations such as mergers, acquisitions and restructuring with the aim to take advantage of such events. This objective will be reached by investing mainly intransferable securities, particularly equities and bonds, money market instruments and derivatives (such as futures and options, Contracts for Difference or Equity Swaps), in order to create long and short exposure with the aim of exploiting potential opportunities. If the Fund invests in Swaps on Indexes, the index composition will be public and disciplined by appropriate Index Rules publicly available and in accordance with the provisions of the Law. The Fund will not invest in derivatives where the counterparties have any discretion on the composition or management of the Fund’s investment portfolio or on the underlying of the financial derivative instruments. The Fund may hold liquid assets, including cash, bank deposits, money market instruments or units of Undertakings for Collective Investments in Transferable Securities (UCITS) and/or other Undertakings for Collective Investments (UCIs) that have a policy of investing mainly in liquidity strategies on a residual basis (less than 50% of its net assets). The Fund may invest up to 100% of its net assets in various issues (minimum 6) of securities and money market financial instruments, issued or guaranteed by a Member State of the European Union, by its public territorial authorities, by a Member state of the OECD, by international public institutions to which one or more EU Member States belong. The Fund will invest mainly in developed markets. The Fund may invest up to 10% of its net assets in units of other UCITS or other UCIs. The Fund may use financial techniques and instruments in order to promote efficient portfolio management. The investor can buy or sell shares of the Fund on a weekly basis, each Friday, or next full banking.

In May, the performance of Leadersel Event Driven was driven by the solid contribution from both the risk arbitrage and special situations books, in a month where markets responded positively to partial signs of openness from the Trump administration on tariffs, but had to contend with interest rate dynamics that were less favourable for risk assets.

Manager's comment of the month

In the risk arbitrage segment, on the European front, there was a strong performance from Mediobanca relative to Monte dei Paschi di Siena, following the announcement of a plan to acquire control of Banca Generali. Meanwhile, the application of golden power regulations considerably complicated Unicredit’s bid for Banco BPM, despite a good recovery in the spread related to the offer. Among the more established positions, there were significant regulatory developments in the deal involving Covestro and the UAE’s ADNOC.

Moving on to the special situations book, the most notable contributions came from positions in Grenergy, following a promising Capital Market Day; Avolta, amid speculation about a potential delisting; and Leonardo, which benefited from positive momentum in the defence spending sector. As for asset allocation, the risk arbitrage portfolio welcomed new positions, particularly in Europe, leading to an increase in overall exposure.

If the recovery in the volume of M&A activity continues in the coming months, a further increase in the fund’s overall investment level is reasonable to expect, without materially altering its risk profile.
