Versor Investments Announces Strategic Multi-Manager Partnership for AI-based Event-Driven Strategy

NEW YORK, April 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Versor Investments today announced a strategic partnership with a prominent global multi-manager platform for its flagship AI-based Event-Driven strategy.

Since launching the Event-Driven strategy in January 2024 with partner capital and support from existing client relationships, Versor has been encouraged by both performance and the consistency of the opportunity set, strengthening its conviction to scale alongside select institutional partners.

The Event-Driven strategy aims to generate strong absolute returns with low correlation to broader market movements by capitalizing on event-driven dislocations in developed markets. Its approach integrates advanced AI and machine learning models to drive alpha generation, diversified exposure across large-, mid-, and small-cap events, a focus on competing bids to offset downside risks from deal terminations, and dynamic exposure management to address non-linear market risks.

"We built our Event-Driven strategy on the belief that advances in AI and machine learning can significantly enhance how investors evaluate corporate events and construct portfolios," said Deepak Gurnani, Founder and Managing Partner of Versor Investments. "This partnership serves as strong validation of both the strategy and the broader platform we've developed."

Versor began offering its Event-Driven strategy more broadly in mid-2025. With this new mandate, approximately 50% of the strategy's $1 billion capacity has now been allocated. The firm expects to allocate the remaining capacity by year-end.

The mandate further strengthens Versor's presence among sophisticated institutional investors. It represents the third AI-driven strategy at the firm to attract capital from leading fund-of-funds, pension plans, consultants, and multi-manager platforms, highlighting continued demand for systematically derived sources of alpha.

In 2023, the firm opened Alternative Trading Strategy (ATS), its first statistical arbitrage hedge fund offering to external investors and secured a strategic multi-manager partner.  The firm also offers the Global Equities Tactical Trading (GETT) strategy, an equity index futures program designed to deliver strong risk-adjusted returns with a convex payoff profile and low correlation to traditional management futures.

With this latest Event-Driven partnership, Versor aims to address the demand for their AI-enabled investment capabilities across single stocks, equity index futures, and now, corporate events.
