About HMECX
NexPoint Merger Arbitrage Fund Class C is a mutual fund designed to provide absolute returns through a merger arbitrage strategy. This fund actively invests in the equity and debt of companies that are subjects of executed merger or acquisition agreements, both in domestic and international markets. The investment process is built upon rigorous fundamental due diligence and an in-depth assessment of legal, regulatory, and deal-specific risks, as indicated by a proprietary Merger Arbitrage Risk Score. Managed by a team with extensive experience in mergers, acquisitions, and event-driven strategies, the fund aims to capture the spread between the market price of a target company and the announced acquirer offer price, regardless of broader market conditions. Functioning as an alternative investment, NexPoint Merger Arbitrage Fund Class C offers characteristics such as low correlation with traditional equity and fixed-income markets, providing portfolio diversification and potential risk reduction. Its risk/return profile often resembles that of fixed income, with the added benefit of being relatively insulated from broader market volatility. The fund is also designed as a tool to enhance portfolio stability and may be considered as a substitute or complement to more conventional fixed-income investments, especially in rising interest rate environments.
