From The Editor Issue 25: Making Money From Takeovers

Kristian Dibble

We love takeovers. Over the last 13 years, The Rivkin Report has made money from trading takeover arbitrages by applying a tried and tested strategy that usually results in low risk, profitable results. Many companies are currently cashed up and on the hunt for acquisitions. In many cases, it is cheaper for companies to grow by acquisition rather than organically given the low valuations that can be found on the stock market. As a result, takeover activity is strong and we are seeing continued consolidation in the resources sector, along with other sectors such as financial services and property. We currently have a number of open trades and we believe there will be plenty more to come this year.

In this Issue of From The Editor, we look at what takeovers are, outline how we make money from them and discuss some of the existing trades we are currently participating in.
