Silverback Asset Management was founded in 2002 by Elliot Bossen. It was his vision to create a hedge fund that was nimble, opportunistic and transformative. He and his team quickly made their name in convertibles and diversified credit. Years later, the team has grown to 12 professionals with depth and breadth of knowledge.
The firm gets its name from the Silverback Gorilla. The Silverback Gorilla is known for being highly intelligent, loyal, strong, nimble, and fiercely protective. The behavioral traits that characterize the mighty Silverback, are the same qualities and attributes that define Silverback Asset Management.
While Silverback’s investment mandate includes companies of all market capitalization ranges, Silverback tends to focus on small and mid-cap companies primarily in the U.S.
