Hudson Bay Capital Management

What Hudson Bay Capital Management does

Hudson Bay Capital Management is a privately held, founder-led multi-strategy hedge fund founded in 2005 by Sander Gerber and Yoav Roth as the successor to Gerber Asset Management (1997). The firm is headquartered in Stamford, Connecticut, with additional offices in New York, Miami, Los Angeles, London, Dubai (DIFC), and Hong Kong, and serves institutional investors including public pension funds, endowments, foundations, sovereign wealth funds, and family offices. The firm has been described in public material as managing approximately $5 billion in assets (referenced in 2020) and operates dedicated Investor Relations and Consultant Relations functions.

The firm's investment platform spans five core strategies: Credit, Convertibles, Events & Mergers, Fundamental Equities, and Volatility, all constructed around the proprietary Deal Code System, a patented framework that organizes each investment idea as a distinct "Deal Code" with associated hedges to extract alpha while maintaining portfolio-level diversification. Risk management is anchored in the RMon system, which daily monitors portfolio diversification using the Gerber Statistic, a robust co-movement measure for covariance matrix estimation co-developed with Nobel laureate Dr. Harry Markowitz and protected by nine granted US patents with additional patents pending. In April 2024 the firm closed an $800 million special situations fund, and in January 2026 it hired a team of approximately ten ex-BlackRock executives to launch a dedicated private credit strategy, which has since executed multiple direct lending transactions exceeding $400 million.

Hudson Bay generates revenue primarily through traditional hedge fund economics: management fees calculated as a percentage of assets under management and performance fees (carry) on fund profits, negotiated bilaterally with institutional investors under standard industry structures. The firm distributes its strategies through direct institutional fundraising rather than third-party channels, and supplements its capital markets activity with thought leadership including research publications and discussion events featuring figures such as former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Dr. Nouriel Roubini, and Dr. Stephen Miran.

Products and services

• Credit Strategy Generates alpha by focusing on relationships connecting corporate bonds, convertible bonds, bank debt, credit derivatives, credit indices, and equities. Involves both capital structure arbitrage opportunities and relative value opportunities across issuers, offered to institutional investors seeking absolute return exposure.
• Convertibles Strategy Employs an event-driven, capital structure arbitrage approach to unlock value by capitalizing on opportunities when various parts of the capital structure price-in different probabilities of an event. Includes structured convertibles providing customized financing to growth companies.
• Events & Mergers Strategy Invests across the capital structure to take advantage of dislocations created by corporate events, catalysts, and change. Generates alpha by trading the pathway or turbulence around an event, designed for institutional investors seeking uncorrelated absolute returns.
• Fundamental Equities Strategy Performs fundamental analysis across a diversified set of industries, investing in equity and equity-linked securities with discipline imposed by the Deal Code process emphasizing investment-level hedging and accountability.
• Volatility Strategy Seeks to profit from mispriced volatility within and across issuers and sectors. Volatility portfolio managers assist other teams in constructing option overlays to optimize risk/reward profiles ahead of events such as earnings and M&A.
• Hudson Bay Special Situations Fund A closed-end drawdown fund vehicle designed for institutional allocators, deploying capital opportunistically under a 'fat pitch' strategy in special situations and event-driven opportunities over a six-year investment horizon.
• Private Credit Strategy Newly launched private credit strategy operated by a team of approximately 10 ex-BlackRock executives, expanding Hudson Bay's alternative credit capabilities and providing institutional investors access to private debt origination and structured financing transactions.
