Firm profile

FINTRX

Overview

Zazove Associates LLC is an SEC-registered investment adviser organized as an LLC and operating as a hedge-fund style manager. The firm has been registered since 1989 and primarily serves institutional clients. Its fee model combines a percentage-of-assets charge with performance-based fees. Zazove's advisory activities span separately managed accounts and pooled vehicles, including portfolio management for individuals and small businesses, pooled investment vehicles, and businesses or institutions. Investment posture leans toward a fixed-income orientation with a pronounced allocation to investment-grade corporate bonds. The firm also runs and advises private hedge funds and maintains some exposure to alternative strategies — notably commodities via third-party managers. Zazove does not position itself as a broad capital allocator to external managers and does not identify as an active ESG investor.
