Highbridge Capital Management

Highbridge Capital Management is an alternative investment management organization founded in 1992. The company has developed a diversified investment platform comprising hedge funds, traditional investment management products, and credit and equity investments with longer-term holding periods. Highbridge and its affiliates manage approximately $28 billion in capital for many of the world's most prominent institutional investors, public and corporate pension funds, endowments, foundations, family offices and high net worth individuals. The Firm is based in New York with offices in Hong Kong and London and employs (with its affiliates) 465 people, including over 135 investment professionals.

In late 2004, J.P. Morgan Asset Management purchased a majority interest in Highbridge, creating one of the first and most significant strategic alliances in the hedge fund industry. In July 2009, J.P. Morgan Asset Management completed its purchase of substantially all remaining shares of the Firm --- a transaction that remains at the vanguard of the institutionalization of the hedge fund industry.

Following the success of the Highbridge / J.P. Morgan strategic partnership, in October 2010, Highbridge entered into a strategic alliance with Gávea Investimentos, one of Brazil's leading alternative investment management firms. With headquarters in Rio de Janeiro and offices in São Paulo, Gávea brings over 100 employees to its partnership with Highbridge.
