The NIR Group of Roslyn, New York, headed by Corey Ribotsky, offers several choices of investment to its clients, including the AJW Hedge Fund. Traditionally, hedge funds were an investment vehicle which was only open to a limited range of investors and permitted by regulating agencies to participate in a larger variety of investment and trading activities compared to other types of investment funds. Hedge funds pay a performance fee to the manager of the fund, and each fund has a unique investment strategy which will determine the kind of investing undertaken by the fund.
Short selling is a typical method used by hedge funds to offset potential losses (hedging) by reducing risk, in the markets that the fund is invested in.
Over time however, the term hedge fund has come to refer to funds which use short selling and other “hedging methods” to actually increase risk with the hope and expectation that increased financial return will be realized.

“Entrepreneur Magazine” Features Corey Ribotsky of NIR Group
A recent article in “Entrepreneur Magazine” featured Corey Ribotsky, the founder and managing member of the N.I.R. Group, headquartered in Roslyn, NY, discussed the increased popularity of private investments in public entities, otherwise known as PIPEs. Despite the generally sluggish economy PIPE investing is seen to be rising. Ribotsky urges due diligence as essential when contemplating deals of this genre.
The article focuses on PIPEs becoming more mainstream as investment options while traditional financing becomes more difficult to obtain as the market for secondary offerings slows.
The article, entitled “Terms of Endearment” cautions that the terms of these deals must be meticulously scrutinized. Ribotsky commented:
“The company has to know who they’re getting into bed with. You want someone who’s going to be a financial partner as opposed to someone who’s just looking for a trading play.”
