Caligan Partners, LP (also referred to as “we”, the "Adviser" or “Caligan”), a Delaware limited
partnership, commenced operations in September 2017 and has its offices in New York, New
York. David Johnson is one of two founders of Caligan. The Adviser was established to invest in
activist equity situations and distressed debt for a variety of private client funds and separately
managed accounts. Caligan Partners GP, LLC serves as the general partner of the Adviser and is
principally owned by Mr. Johnson.
The Adviser provides investment advisory services to private funds (each a “Partnership” and
collectively “Partnerships”) and separately managed accounts (the “SMA” or “SMAs” and,
collectively with the Partnerships, the “Funds”). The Partnerships rely on an exemption from
registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company
Act”), pursuant to Section 3(c)(7). Accordingly, interests in a Partnership are offered and sold
exclusively to investors (each an “Investor”, collectively “Investors” or “Limited Partners”)
satisfying the applicable eligibility and suitability requirements in private transactions within the
United States.
As of December 31, 2023, the Adviser’s regulatory assets under management was $347,914,852,
all managed on a discretionary basis.
The Adviser, in either credit or equity investments, seeks to exert influence and work
collaboratively with companies to create value through operational improvements, financial
restructurings, or transformational transactions.
The Adviser will generally seek representation on
the boards of companies it invests in, in the case of activist equity situations, or formal or ad hoc
creditor's committees, in the case of distressed debt situations. The Adviser may seek to utilize the
bankruptcy or restructuring process to improve both the capital structure and competitive
positioning of companies it invests in. The Adviser expects to invest in long and short positions in
equity or debt securities of public and private U.S. and non-U.S. issuers (including securities
convertible into equity or debt securities); distressed securities, rights, options and warrants; bonds,
notes and equity and debt indices; swaps (including equity, foreign exchange, interest rate,
commodity and credit-default swaps), swaptions, and other derivatives. Investments may include
both publicly traded and privately placed securities of public issuers, as well as publicly traded
securities of private issuers. Investments in options on financial indices may be used to establish
or increase long or short positions or to hedge the Funds’ investments.
The Adviser will likely concentrate the Funds’ assets in a relatively limited number of investments
because the Adviser believes it can deliver superior risk-adjusted returns in a smaller number of
investments where it can devote the time and resources necessary of its professionals to value
enhancing activities. Each Fund is managed only in accordance with its own investment objectives
and is not tailored to any particular investor.
