Farallon's investment philosophy is to invest in businesses and securities that are undergoing change. Farallon’s investments are primarily those in which a known or expected event (a merger, restructuring, recapitalization or other major change) will cause an appreciation in the value of the particular investment. Investments include public and private debt and equity securities, direct investments in private companies and real estate. Farallon invests globally, focussing on developed and emerging markets alike.

Farallon places a priority on the preservation of capital, while seeking to achieve extraordinary risk-adjusted returns in each of its investment disciplines. It manages risk through rigorous research, including consultation with industry, legal and regulatory advisors. Farallon also seeks to build strong relationships with the management of the companies in which we invest.
