Merger arbitrage has long been seen as a strategy of instinct and judgment — a game for star traders who “just knew” which deals would close. But what happens when you take that gut-driven approach and rebuild it as a systematic process?

In this episode, host Vincent speaks with Martin Brückner, CFA, Co-Founder and CIO of First Private Investment Management. Together they explore how systematic merger arbitrage works, why it challenges the discretionary legacy of risk arb, and how data and algorithms can transform deal investing into a repeatable, scalable strategy.
