Headquartered in NYC and founded by the well-respected Tom Sandell in 1998, Sandell Asset Management prides itself as a, in its own words, "leading, private, alternative asset manager specializing in international, event driven, multi-strategy investing." Sandell has less than $1 billion in assets under management, and a significant chunk is focused on the equity markets. In 2012, Sandell's UCITS fund was named the “Best Performing Risk Arbitrage Fund” by The Hedge Fund Journal, and he's the tenth richest person in Sweden, according to Forbes.
