The Event-Driven Edge in Investing

Asif Suria is an entrepreneur and investor with a focus on event driven strategies including merger arbitrage, spinoffs, (legal) insider trading, buybacks and SPACs. He was one of the earliest contributors to Seeking Alpha in 2005 and his work has been mentioned in Barron's, Dow Jones, BNN Bloomberg and other publications. He has been an active investor for more than two decades and his background in technology has helped him build tools that inform his investing process, especially as it relates to event-driven strategies that require updated data and processes. He previously ran a quantitative investment firm focused on insider transactions. Operating experience as an executive at venture funded San Francisco Bay Area based companies gave him a front-row seat to understanding how to build and grow companies.
