und’s Marks Three-Year Milestone Ranked as Top Event Driven Fund^1,2

DALLAS, Jan. 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — NexPoint, a multibillion-dollar alternative investment firm, today announced the three-year anniversary of the NexPoint Event Driven Fund (HHCZX) (the “Fund”). The Fund celebrates this milestone with strong performance, ranking as the top fund in the Event Driven category over this time period.

The NexPoint Event Driven Fund is an actively managed, open-end mutual fund designed to capitalize on event-driven catalysts that influence security prices. The strategy was launched on January 20, 2022, as a complementary product to the NexPoint Merger Arbitrage Fund, which is celebrating its own milestone in reaching its 10-year track record.

While the NexPoint Merger Arbitrage Fund solely focuses on investments in companies involved in publicly announced mergers, its in-depth research and due diligence processes provide visibility into a range of event catalysts. The NexPoint Event Driven Fund builds on that same rigorous process with flexibility to capture a broader universe of investment opportunities stemming from a range of events.

“The NexPoint Event Driven Fund harnesses the strength of our disciplined research, risk analysis, and portfolio management processes—honed over a decade of operating the merger arbitrage fund—while offering the flexibility to pursue total return across a wide array of event catalysts,” said Scott Johnson, Portfolio Manager at NexPoint. “This milestone validates our approach, and the strong performance of both funds underscores our ability to deliver innovative and effective investment solutions to our clients.”

Event catalysts may include mergers and acquisitions, restructurings, spin-offs, strategic reviews, bankruptcies, take-over rumors, or other corporate actions. This strategy is well positioned going into 2025 given the market outlook and expected M&A environment.

“We are proud of the Fund’s accomplishments over the past three years; however, what excites us most are the opportunities on the horizon,” Johnson said. “With improving market conditions, rising M&A activity, and shifting regulatory regimes, among other trends, we are in an environment conducive to event catalysts that favors our strategy. We look forward to capitalizing on these opportunities and continuing to deliver value to investors.”
