Compass Rose aims to follow an opportunistic, credit-focused investment strategy designed to preserve capital and provide uncorrelated risk adjusted returns through active management in all parts of the cycle through a disciplined investment approach. The firm utilizes an opportunistic long/short credit strategy accompanied with event-driven and capital structure arbitrage sub-strategies through investment in fixed-income securities and other related financial instruments across global markets. They seek to take advantage of market opportunities by actively trading mainly credit instruments to capture value across the capital structure and asset classes and to also attempt to mitigate the structural drag imbedded in the Benchmark CDX Index in stable to rallying markets.
