Business Description
Adage Capital Management, L.P. (ACM) was founded in 2001 by Bob Atchinson and Phill Gross, who are the managing directors and principal owners. ACM, along with its affiliates Adage Capital Services, LLC and Adage Capital Partners GP, L.L.C., provides investment advisory services exclusively to Adage Capital Partners, L.P. (ACP), a private investment fund. ACM does not manage any separate accounts.
ACM manages ACP primarily through industry-specific portfolios overseen by analyst/portfolio manager teams or individuals. Their focus is on stock selection based on intra-industry fundamental analysis. ACM utilizes leverage, short selling, derivatives, U.S. and non-U.S. equity and equity-related securities, other financial instruments, and private securities. Additionally, ACM may utilize analysts with different methodologies, such as risk arbitrage and event-driven opportunities. All limited partners in ACP share in gains and losses proportionally to their investment.
Investment Strategy
ACP's primary investment strategy is to invest in undervalued securities. This strategy aims to achieve above-average capital appreciation but carries a degree of financial risk that could result in substantial losses. The identification of undervalued securities is a challenging task, and there is no guarantee that such opportunities will be successfully recognized or acquired.
ACP's investment program emphasizes active management and substantial portfolio turnover. This approach leads to higher brokerage commissions and transaction expenses compared to other investment entities of comparable size, ultimately reducing ACP's net returns. Additionally, the high turnover rate generates significant short-term capital gains, making ACP a less tax-efficient investment vehicle.
