AGN - AbbVie Shareholders Can Earn 17% On Excess Cash Through Merger Arbitrage
Allergan plc
Background for the Trade
Merger arbitrage can generate above-market returns in a short time for those willing to bear the risk of the merger not closing. While over 80% of deals eventually close, the downside can be significant for the ones that don't. Those who engage in this strategy should take the following precautions:
Do your own research to assess the risks of the merger closing.
Limit a small portion of your portfolio to this strategy.
Spread your allocation to merger arbitrage over multiple deals assuming attractive ones are available.
