Corey Ribotsky Update

Corey Ribotsky – currently a Managing Partner at the NIR Group (an investment company that seeks to provide alternative strategies in all different market environments) – has a very impressive educational background, that probably steered him in the right direction for his current business position. He earned his BA at New York’s SUNY Stony Brook and an MBA from the Leonard N. Stern Graduate School of Business.

Ribotsky and SUNY Stony Brook

Being accepted as a student at SUNY Stony Brook is an impressive feat in and of itself.  But what such a college education can potentially lead to afterwards is even more exciting for its students, including graduate Corey Ribotsky.  Indeed, the educational institution was classified in the top one percent of all universities around the world by the London Times Higher Education-QS World University Ranking.  Another plus for the college is that it is relatively inexpensive (especially compared to other highly reputable universities) and it offers over 150 undergraduate programs.  As well, SUNY Stony Brook hosts many researchers and is the only teaching hospital in a university in the Long Island area.  This university is a wonderfully helpful environment for those wanting to continue on to graduate programs as well.  Perhaps that is why Corey Ribotsky began his educational career there.

This year, 2009 marks the 10th anniversary since the launching of the first direct investment fund at the NIR Group, based in Roslyn, New York. With the perspective of ten years behind him, Corey Ribotsky discussed today’s unsure market and his strategies as Managing Member and Head Portfolio Manager to cope with the special stresses of investing now.
One of the main focuses of the NIR Group in the past has been PIPE investing. According to Ribotsky today’s environment for PIPEs has been “the best I’ve seen in 15 years of investing in this space.”

Believing that it will be beneficial to create a trade group for the PIPE investment space, the NIR Group has been active in beginning such an organization.  “It is something that we have talked about quite a bit over the years with other players in this strategy but it never really transpired,” explained Ribotsky.

The goal is to create a group soon which will be made up of a membership of investors involved in the PIPE space, as well as service providers such as lawyers and accountants and others who also play an important role in this investment strategy. Although the NIR Group itself is really only involved in the micro and small cap market, the group will most probably include those in the mid to larger cap markets. This would tend to include placement agents, broker dealers, investment banks and others.

Alternative investment firm, The NIR Group, LLC.,  headed by head portfolio manager, Corey Ribotsky, focuses on investment strategies that are structured to produce returns in all market environments all the while mitigating risks.

The N.I.R. Group initially focused its investment strategy on direct investments in small/micro-cap public companies that showed emerging growth, in addition to distressed and developmental stage businesses.

Opening their new Singapore office, the NIR Group of Roslyn, New York is heading into the future of global investing in the emerging markets of Asia.

Working directly under Corey Ribotsky, managing member of the NIR Group, newly appointed Shoham Cohen will head up the office in Singapore.

“There are numerous opportunities to replicate what NIR has done so successfully in the U.S. and the investment community is looking for alternative investments that are truly non-correlated and provide consistent absolute returns,” added Mr. Cohen.

Shoham Cohen, who will run the new Singapore office for the NIR Group will report directly to Corey Ribotsky, managing member of NIR headquartered in Roslyn, NY.

“Shoham has a proven track-record of growing businesses in Asia and we are confident he will do the same for us,” said Mr. Ribotsky. “His extensive local knowledge will be integral as we expand our presence.”

The NIR Group is an investment firm managing a large variety of investment strategies including direct equity investments.
Always looking for new investment opportunities, Corey Ribotsky is confident that new, expanding markets in Asia will open new possibilities for investment strategies, and Singapore is a centralized, international city which can be a springboard to the entire Asian marketplace.
