The evolution of Highbridge
In December 2004, J.P. Morgan Asset Management purchased a majority interest in Highbridge, creating one of the largest and most significant strategic alliances in the hedge fund industry. In July 2009, J.P. Morgan Asset Management completed its purchase of substantially all remaining shares of the firm. This transaction remains at the vanguard of the institutionalization of the hedge fund industry and is widely viewed as a model of success.
Highbridge Principal Strategies ("HPS") was launched in 2007 as the firm's principal investing business. HPS is now a multi-billion dollar business that manages debt and equity opportunities with longer-term holding periods, including loan, mezzanine, private equity and other investments.
Following the success of the Highbridge / J.P. Morgan strategic partnership, Highbridge announced in October 2010 the purchase of a majority interest in Gávea Investimentos, one of Brazil’s leading alternative investment management firms. With headquarters in Rio de Janeiro and offices in São Paulo, Gávea brings over 100 employees to its partnership with Highbridge.
