In conversation with Wayne Yu, Founder, CEO & CIO, BCK Capital Management.

BCK runs a global special situations (aka event-driven) hedge fund strategy targeting investments in companies that are undergoing transformative change.

After graduating from University of Chicago Law School, Wayne joined Wachtel Limpton Rosen and Katz, one of the premier law firms for corporate work in the US. It was here that Wayne learned and observed first hand, the machinations of corporate deals; this was the late 90s, a boom time for M&A.

Wayne then set to work applying his legal expertise in finance, joining Ken Griffin's Citadel where he became head of its event-driven business for the Americas; a role he held between 2002 and 2008. A stint at Société Générale then followed, before Wayne spun out the strategy in 2015, establishing Stamford Connecticut-based BCK with a $50 million strategic investment.
