Gaurav Bhardwaj Email Address

Vice President and Head of Technology

BlueMountain was founded in 2003 on the belief that markets persistently exhibit artificial segmentation as a result of organizational and regulatory constraints, agency problems, and behavioral biases. BlueMountain's capabilities, processes, incentives, and culture are designed to capture the investment opportunities created by these persistent structural inefficiencies. Keeping with our foundational belief in the importance of an interdisciplinary approach, we integrate a diverse array of investment strategies, including Relative Value Credit, Distressed & Special Situations, Long/Short Equity, Structured Credit, Volatility, Asset Backed Finance, and Real Estate, amongst others. Our investment process relies on entrepreneurial teams with flexibility to pursue opportunities in their areas of expertise, collaborating across disciplines to generate the best ideas. These ideas are then evaluated and integrated at the portfolio and fund level by our Investment and Risk Committees to optimize risk and reward. We further integrate our investment process into our industry-leading risk, trading, operations, and technology infrastructure. Today, approximately 300 global professionals (with 24 partners including 8 managing principals) operate in a culture of collaboration, transparency, and intellectual integrity, striving every day to innovate and strengthen our capabilities. Our mission is to build an enduring partnership that consistently meets the expectations of our investors.
