Daniel J. Arbess

Mr. Arbess is a Partner of Perella Weinberg Partners.

Mr. Arbess is a Partner at Perella Weinberg Partners and manager of the $2+ billion Xerion strategy which pursues event-driven and special situation corporate investments across the capital structure, using macro themes for directional emphasis and hedging.

Mr. Arbess has been professionally involved in global themes and event-driven opportunities since he began his professional career at White & Case in the 1980s. As the youngest partner in that law firm’s history, and eventually Head of its Global Privatization Group, he advised governments on industrial restructuring, privatization programs and transactions.

Mr. Arbess became an investment principal in 1995, first pursuing restructuring-oriented private transactions in Eastern Europe and later managing portfolio workouts and distressed credit investments for a New York-based asset manager. He launched Xerion Capital Partners in 2003 to make corporate investments informed by two broad and inter-related secular themes: the industrialization and urbanization of global emerging markets and the relative decline and pending de-leveraging of nations and companies of the developed world. Xerion Capital Partners was then acquired by Perella Weinberg Partners in 2007 and, over the past several years, the strategy has encompassed short positions in housing, mortgages, CDOs, financial institutions and sovereigns, along with long positions in distressed credit and global special situations. Xerion uses a range of macro asset classes to complement its corporate investments, including currencies, commodities and government bonds.

Mr. Arbess is a frequent writer and media commentator on investing and global markets.

Mr. Arbess received a Bachelor of Laws (LL.B) from Osgoode Hall Law School (Toronto) and a Master of Law from Harvard Law School (LL.M).
