Welcome to The Merger Fund^® Website

The Merger Fund^® was launched in 1989 and it was the first mutual fund devoted exclusively to merger arbitrage. In the 23 years since inception, the Fund's highly experienced managers have continually refined their investment approach and added new risk-management tools in pursuit of one principal goal: to provide attractive risk-adjusted returns in virtually all market environments while preserving investor capital and minimizing volatility-based risk. Please see the below table for the most recent performance update.

Diversification does not assure a profit or protect against a loss in a declining market.

Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. The principal risk associated with the Fund's merger-arbitrage investment strategy is that certain of the proposed reorganizations in which the Fund invests may be renegotiated or terminated, in which case losses may be realized. Investments in foreign companies involved in pending mergers, takeovers and other corporate reorganizations may entail political, cultural, regulatory, legal and tax risks different from those associated with comparable transactions in the United States.
