Frequently asked questions

Who makes investment decisions at Owl Creek Asset Management?

Jeffrey Altman, the founder and chief investment officer, serves as the sole portfolio manager. He previously co-managed the Mutual Shares and Mutual Discovery funds at Franklin Mutual Advisers under Michael Price before launching Owl Creek in 2000. The firm does not publicly list any other investment-committee members or portfolio managers.

What types of assets does Owl Creek invest in?

The firm deploys capital across public equities, distressed debt, special situations, and direct real estate. Confirmed areas of past activity include activist campaigns in financial services and energy companies, post-bankruptcy restructurings, and direct real estate transactions in New York and Florida.

What is Owl Creek's current assets under management?

Owl Creek has not publicly disclosed a current AUM figure. The firm ran over $3 billion at its peak in 2006 (per Bloomberg, 2006), but public filings since the late 2010s show a substantially reduced public-securities portfolio, and the firm no longer reports to commercial hedge-fund databases.
