Hedge Fund - MFP Investors

MFP Investors, managed by Michael Price, is a New York-based activist hedge fund focusing on value investments. Founded in 1998 after Price solid Heine Securities to Franklin Resources for $670 million in 1996, MFP Investors uses a value investing approach with a dash of contrarianism thrown in for good measure. The hedge fund manager acquired his analytical chops from the late Max Heine, whom Price worked for beginning in the early 1970s.

While most of his portfolio’s holdings are in equities, Price has also been known to dabble in arbitrage tactics and distressed asset classes. In addition to his role at MFP Investors, Price has received national recognition for his philanthropic offerings, most notably those made to his alma mater, the University of Oklahoma. Price’s most important contributions though, are made to his shareholders, as he is known by his peers as one of the most responsive hedge fund managers in the industry.
