280 Capital Ltd

280 Capital Ltd runs a multi-strategy investment program rooted in volatility arbitrage, distressed credit, and event-driven special situations. The firm was established with a presence in Singapore and now maintains additional offices in London, New York, Vancouver, Hong Kong, Zurich, and Paris. Its principals have not been publicly named in press profiles, reflecting a deliberate low-profile operating model common among proprietary trading desks and family-backed capital vehicles. The strategy spans public-market volatility trading — including options, variance swaps, and convertible arbitrage — alongside private credit and structured equity in situations where traditional capital is scarce or pricing is dislocated. 280 Capital has been known to participate in secondary market blocks, bespoke financing for late-stage private companies, and asset-backed lending. Geographic coverage includes developed Asia-Pacific markets, North America, and select European opportunities, with a particular emphasis on cross-border capital structure trades. 280 Capital's structural differentiator is its apparent operation as a proprietary capital vehicle or tightly held partnership that avoids the disclosure and fundraising cycles typical of asset managers. This architecture allows the firm to hold positions through periods of illiquidity and to act as a liquidity provider when others are forced sellers — a posture that defines the most durable special situations funds.
