When will hedge funds become interested in the security posture of a company?
At some point the security posture of a company will be of great interest to hedge funds and investment managers. That is to say that they will be interested in how secure other companies will be and whether that can affect their investments.
The companies of interest are more likely to be a publicly listed company, although it could be of concern for investment managers looking to acquire a share of a private company. For hedge funds and other managers with an appetite for more exotic investment vehicles the security posture of a company could indicate a potential shorting opportunity (making profit from the decline in a company’s share price).
