P. Schoenfeld Asset Management

P. Schoenfeld Asset Management (PSAM) was founded by Peter Schoenfeld, who cut his teeth at Odyssey Partners and later ran his own event-driven fund before launching PSAM. The firm operates as an alternative asset manager based in New York City, with a second office in San Francisco. Wealth origin of the founding family is not publicly disclosed. PSAM's investment strategy spans event-driven equity, distressed debt, private credit, and special situations across North America, Europe, and Asia. The firm runs both long/short equity and credit strategies, often taking concentrated positions. Known deployed capital includes a position in the restructuring of energy sector credits and participation in secondary market purchases of distressed debt, though specific named portfolio companies are not publicly confirmed. The firm maintains a multi-strategy approach with a focus on catalysts and corporate events. The firm does not publicly disclose AUM or total professionals. A second office is located in San Francisco. No additional adjacent vehicles—such as a foundation or operating company—were identified in public sources. PSAM differentiates itself through its global network and deep research capabilities in event-driven and distressed investing. The firm operates as a registered investment adviser, positioning itself as an alternative asset manager that invests across multiple strategies without being tied to a single family office structure.
