Owl Creek Wealth Partners

Jeffrey Altman, the founder and managing partner, makes all material portfolio decisions. He previously managed internal capital at Goldman Sachs before launching Owl Creek independently in 2001. Altman operates with a concentrated book and centralizes trade construction, risk sizing, and thesis approval around his direct oversight.

Owl Creek runs a concentrated portfolio focused on corporate catalysts where structural complexity, rather than liquidity, drives the mispricing. The firm will hold positions through multiple restructuring cycles when the underlying asset value supports the thesis. This differs from many event-driven peers who size positions around specific dated catalysts and exit on timeline rather than value realization.

Yes. The firm operates a core hedge fund focused on public equity long/short and credit, alongside a private investment vehicle for illiquid special situations and longer-duration credit opportunities. The private vehicle allows Altman to retain exposure to investments that exceed the liquidity constraints of the main fund.

The firm invests across distressed debt restructurings, post-bankruptcy equity, regulatory-driven divestitures, and merger-arbitrage with asymmetric downside protection. Public filings show concentrated positions in companies including Hertz Global Holdings post-bankruptcy and Activision Blizzard during the Microsoft acquisition process.

Altman relies on a proprietary network built over two decades in hedge fund and sell-side markets, combined with public-filing monitoring for distressed and special-situation dislocations. The firm does not market a formal sourcing platform but benefits from Altman's direct relationships with restructuring advisors, legal counsel, and sell-side desks.

Owl Creek historically maintained a low public profile, consistent with Altman's preference for operating without media attention. The firm does not publish a website or marketing materials accessible beyond existing investors, and does not actively solicit new capital through conferences or intermediaries.

Jeffrey Altman worked at Goldman Sachs before founding Owl Creek in 2001, initially managing internal proprietary capital. The firm operates independently from Goldman Sachs with no disclosed ownership or strategic relationship. Altman's investment discipline reflects the proprietary-trading mindset from that era but applied through an external hedge fund structure.
