Jonathan T. Sadowsky, Managing Director of Finance and Portfolio Manager, manages all of the Browndorf Life Settlement Funds, which specializes in obtaining longevity risk both in synthetic and physical form. As one of the only buy-side hedge funds to specialize in the asset class in synthetic form, we use a distinct combination of qualitative and quantitative analysis to opportunistically and efficiently manage longevity assets and their risks.
Mr. Sadowsky's prior derivatives modeling and risk management experience allow the fund to efficiently manage longevity risk in synthetic form, which mitigates all of the unwanted physical policy risks most life settlement assets carry. In addition, where appropriate and yields compensate for additional policy risks, we do opportunistically buy distressed portfolios as well.
Mr. Sadowsky prior spent almost six years as a Fixed Income Hedge Fund Portfolio Manager and Researcher at Barclays Global Investors (BGI) in San Francisco, CA, specializing in the area of corporate debt, including bonds, credit default swaps and bank loans. He was instrumental in developing investment strategies and trade ideas as well as overseeing asset valuation, with an emphasis on derivatives, and the creation and maintenance of detailed risk profiles of the fund’s complex holdings. He was also responsible for all financing activities in fixed income, which included leverage creation for the hedge fund as well as protective liquidity strategies.
With 16 years in the asset management business on both the buy-side and sell-side, and a strong quantitative background, Mr. Sadowsky’s career has focused on modeling, analyzing and understanding the intricate risks of every investment in his portfolios, with a strong emphasis on derivatives, especially credit default swaps (CDS) and total return swaps (TRS).
Before BGI, Mr. Sadowsky was a quantitative analyst on the California Municipal Bond Desk at American Century Investments in Mountain View, CA, using matrix mathematics to better understand the relationships between market yield curve movements and portfolio risks.
Mr. Sadowsky graduated with a Bachelors of Science Degree in Material Science and Engineering in 1993 from Lehigh University in Bethlehem, PA. Mr. Sadowsky also studied for his MBA at the Stern School of Business at New York University from 1998 to 2000.
