Abstract

This software is to accompany the case ''9-209-030''. The abstract of the case is as follows: A New York-based hedge fund must decide whether to invest in TravelCenters of America (TA), a recent spin-off from a US-based real estate investment trust. The case confronts students with the question: To what extent is this spin-off opportunity attractive from a value-investing standpoint? Historically, spin-offs have been attractive investments because of supply-demand dynamics associated with their investor base. The case is an opportunity to ask whether the same dynamics will operate for TA.
