The firm's equity-oriented funds have a history of investing in smaller public companies, private credit situations, and value-oriented special situations that require patient capital and independent research to identify and capture. PenderFund's approach to alternative fixed income and liquid alternative strategies extends this philosophy to the credit and multi-strategy space, providing investors with access to return streams that are less correlated with traditional equity market performance and that benefit from the firm's ability to evaluate complex or structured situations.<br><br>PenderFund Capital Management Ltd. is registered as an investment fund manager and portfolio manager with the relevant Canadian securities regulatory authorities and discloses its U.S.-listed equity holdings through 13F filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, reflecting its investment activity in North American public equity markets.
