Reflecting the growth trajectory of Evermore, the firm recently doubled the size of its research and trading team.  In addition to their research responsibilities, Mr. O and Mr. Epstein will assist David Marcus with management of Evermore's growing investment team, as well as with day-to-day portfolio and risk management oversight for all of Evermore's accounts.   

Thomas O has been with Evermore Global Advisors since 2012. Prior to joining Evermore he was a research analyst focusing on Asian investment opportunities in the real estate, retail/consumer, gaming, and hospital sectors with Presidia Capital, a value-oriented hedge fund.  He began his career with Citigroup Global Market's Global Industrial Group and also held positions with HSBC Capital (USA) Inc. and Amphor Capital Management.

"These promotions are reflective of the dedication and hard work that both Tommy and Matt have brought to our firm over the last few years, and demonstrate the deep bench strength we have here at Evermore," explained CEO David Marcus.  "Both our mutual fund and separate accounts have been demonstrating significant growth and we recently launched a limited partnership fund.  Collectively, all these factors convinced us that this was the right time to expand our team and give Tommy and Matt the recognition they've earned."

Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. The Fund invests in foreign securities which involve greater volatility and political, economic and currency risks and differences in accounting methods. These risks are greater for emerging markets. The Fund may make short sales of securities, which involves the risk that losses may exceed the original amount invested. Investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities. Investment in lower-rated, non-rated and distressed securities presents a greater risk of loss to principal and interest than higher-rated securities. Due to the focused portfolio, the fund may have more volatility and more risk than a fund that invests in a greater number of securities. Additional special risks relevant to our Fund involve derivatives and special situations. Please refer to the prospectus for further details.

Evermore Global Advisors, LLC is the advisor to the Evermore Global Value Fund which is distributed by Quasar Distributors, LLC.
