Welcome
Edenbrook Hill Capital (“EHC”) is an asset-management firm that creates and manages innovative financial vehicles and products with conservative risk characteristics. EHC specializes in favourable risk/return strategies which emphasize strength and stability. EHC’s mission is to use structured finance techniques to create financial products with favourable risk-return characteristics.
Edenbrook Hill Capital was founded in November 2005 by Mark Adams and Rebecca Adams. Mark was previously head of CDOs and Legal for Dominion Bond Rating Service Limited (“DBRS”), while Rebecca was previously head of Rating Committee.
As its first project in 2006, EHC worked with Dundee Securities Corporation to create and fund Skeena Capital Trust (“Skeena”). Skeena has over $2 billion in funding through either the Canadian commercial paper market or in cash. EHC uses a combination of financial modeling and legal structuring technology to create AAA credit-resilient investments for Canadian institutional investors. EHC is now involved in a series of other projects with its partners that will lead to the launch of new, innovative products for investors in the future.
Structured finance products will continue to play an increasingly important role in the institutional and retail investment community as traditional securities are replaced. However, while these offer many benefits, such new products, asset classes, and risks can be difficult to analyze and evaluate for many investors. Edenbrook Hill Capital offers investors the expertise to understand and invest in these increasingly complex structures. EHC understands these products, and will design strategies that allow investors to maximize their risk/return preferences.
We welcome you to the website and look forward to serving the investment community in the years ahead.
Introduction
Prior to founding EHC, Mark and Rebecca had extensive experience in the global credit markets with a large variety of corporate and structured products. They have worked on rating a large number of corporations, structured projects, project financings, CDOs, etc. in Canada and the U.S., and in seeing the development of structured products generally. They saw a need for a specialized company that focuses on structuring and portfolio management.
The pace of innovation and emerging assets has been accelerating on a global basis, and the creation of related products requires extensive knowledge of legal, structural, and credit issues. Mark and Rebecca have therefore assembled a team that can deal with the complex issues that are associated with such products.
The Edenbrook Team is comprised of people with skills in law, finance, derivatives, structured products, IT systems, and financial modeling & analysis. This team is designed to help investors understand and benefit from structured products that offer significant rewards but which also require significant analysis.
As risks become more complicated and subtle, Edenbrook Hill will continue to focus on creating stable, resilient structures that will allow market participants to better understand and profit from market opportunities. EHC has the capability to structure, model and analyze a wide variety of structured products with quantitative and fundamental credit and leverage characteristics. EHC’s mission is to use structured finance techniques to create financial products with favourable risk-return characteristics.
