INVESTING MANTRAS 

Thomas Steyer, Farallon Capital's founder, achieved both a thriving investment firm and a personal fortune of $2.1 billion by 2023, showcasing his determined drive, strategic prowess, and innovative investment strategies.

Farallon is renowned for its absolute return strategy, prioritizing positive returns irrespective of market conditions, diverging from funds benchmarked against specific indices.

Farallon's approach involves wide-ranging asset allocation, spanning value investing, credit investments, merger arbitrage, real estate, and direct investments, minimizing risk and capturing opportunities across varied market segments.

Fundamental analysis and meticulous research are foundational to Steyer's investment strategy, involving in-depth examinations of financials, industry trends, and competitive landscapes to identify undervalued opportunities and assess potential risks.

Actively participating in event-driven investing, especially in international markets, Farallon focuses on distressed companies with restructuring potential, contributing to their recovery and generating returns through turnaround processes.

Steyer's strategy incorporates an extended investment horizon, holding positions for two to five years despite capitalizing on short-term opportunities, allowing investments to mature and yield significant returns over time.
