Vadim Avdeychik is of counsel in the Investment Management practice of Paul Hastings and is based in the firm’s New York office. Mr. Avdeychik counsels mutual funds, closed-end funds, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), business development companies (BDCs), hedge funds, and their investment advisers. He routinely advises on the formation and operation of registered investment companies (including those implementing alternative investment strategies), alternative fund structures (including registered and unregistered master/feeder and fund-of-funds structures and BDCs), fund governance, regulatory issues involving public and private funds, and investment company status issues. Mr. Avdeychik has extensive experience assisting pre-IPO and public operating companies, specialty finance companies, investment banks, financial product sponsors, and other entities in determining their investment company status or the status of the products they sponsor, including the ability to qualify for exemptions from the Investment Company Act, in connection with securities offerings, financial product launches and other transactions.

Eric helped develop and is the portfolio manager for the Matisse Discounted Closed-End Fund Strategy, an alpha-generating global balanced approach available via separately managed accounts and our mutual fund (launched in 2012). The core investment thesis is that the narrowing of CEF discounts, driven by shifting investor sentiment in a highly inefficient market—along with excess income when buying deeply discounted CEFs—can generate sustained alpha for investors.
