S.A.C. Capital Advisors, L.P. (“SAC”) is a private investment management firm headquartered in Stamford, CT. SAC is the successor to a firm founded by Steven A. Cohen in 1992. SAC is a diversified, research-driven investment management firm built around a premier position in long/short equity, as well as significant positions in quantitative and other strategies.

There are several consistent themes to SAC’s general approach to investment management: 1) a rigorous, fundamental, catalyst driven investment approach; 2) sophisticated risk management and disciplined capital preservation techniques; 3) significant experience in attracting and cultivating investment management professionals; 4) a disciplined approach to expanding business opportunities and diversifying investments; 5) a dynamic asset allocation process that seeks to allocate greater capital to potentially outperforming strategies; and 6) risk parameters that are designed to create an asymmetric return stream through contractual loss limits.

SAC's success is attributed to:

• Our ability to attract, develop and challenge our professionals.
• Our culture that promotes innovation, entrepreneurialism and accountability.
• Our world-class infrastructure.
