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.
Silverback is located at 1414 Raleigh Road, Suite 250, Chapel Hill, NC 27517.
Chapel Hill, dubbed The Southern Part of Heaven, is home to the University of North Carolina. It is 10 miles southwest of Durham and Duke University and 25 miles northwest of Raleigh and North Carolina State University.
We feel fortunate to be headquartered here in North Carolina, separate from the herd mentality of major hedge fund centers. Our unique position allows us to think and act independently to best serve our investors.
