Corey Ribotsky – NIR Group

In an interview with Corey Ribotsky, Managing Member and Head Portfolio Manager or the Roslyn New York investment firm NIR Group, in Opalesque, the trends in PIPE investing in light of the new TALF loan program was discussed.

The NIR Group is marking ten years since it began its first direct investment fund in 1999. Opalesque discussed with Mr. Ribotsky the present environment for PIPE investing in addition to the desire to organize a central body to represent investment firms which are participating in all aspects of PIPE investing.

Kirsten Bischoff of Opalesque asked Ribotsky if he favored any particular industrial sector in the current PIPE investing market. Corey Ribotsky explained that for him and his firm, the entire spectrum of companies which are included in the S & P are legitimate and potentially excellent choices for these types of investments.
