Long<\/span>, president of Palmer Square Capital Management, commented, &#8220;We believe this is an ideal environment for long\/short credit and are very pleased to now be able to offer our long\/short credit strategy as a single-strategy mutual fund.\u00a0We believe that the Fund offers investors a unique alternative to traditional fixed income investments, as our team seeks absolute returns on both the long and short side while aiming to minimizing volatility and exposure to interest rate risk.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Leveraging the deep expertise of <span class=\"xn-person\">Palmer Square&#8217;s<\/span> opportunistic credit team and the team&#8217;s history managing credit strategies, the Fund has an investment objective of absolute returns over a market cycle through a portfolio of long and short credit investments.\u00a0The Fund will primarily invest long and short in corporate bonds, loans, convertible bonds, structured credit (most notably, collateralized loan obligations or CLOs), and derivatives.<\/p>\n<p>According to <span class=\"xn-person\">Angie K. Long<\/span>, chief investment officer of Palmer Square, &#8220;Our team has a deep history of being able to find relative value across credit and in this environment there are not only many opportunities to create a differentiated long credit book, but also ample opportunity to be short credit (most specifically, single name corporate credit).\u00a0We believe our team is well-positioned and nimble enough to capitalize on these opportunities across credit.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Based outside <span class=\"xn-location\">Kansas City, Missouri<\/span>, and managing approximately <span class=\"xn-money\">$4.3 billion<\/span> in assets,<span class=\"xn-person\">Palmer Square<\/span> is part of Montage Investments, a diverse group of institutional investment managers that together manage nearly <span class=\"xn-money\">$27 billion<\/span> for a wide range of investors.
