Michael Kao has been in the investment business for ~30 years with extensive experience analyzing and investing in many markets and asset classes from commodities to credit to convertible/capital structure/event arbitrage to distressed debt/equity investing.

From commodities trader at Goldman Sachs to partner & co-founder of Canyon Arbitrage Fund focusing on various strategies including convertible and capital structure arbitrage as well as event-driven/risk arbitrage and then to beginning his own investment firm – Akanthos Capital Management – where he ran an opportunistic, value-driven investment strategy that looked for “fulcrum securities” up and down the capital structure.

In 2019, Mike stopped actively managing external capital in now invests for his FAMILY OFFICE & became a PELICAN! Mike also shares his wisdom with his passionate creative and insightful projects, Kaoboy Musings substack & Kaos theory podcast.
