I'm interviewing with Q Investments of Ft. Worth today (think investing/trading side of the Bass Bros.) They do a lot of low risk strategies like MNA Arb, Convertible bond arb, and Related share pair arb.

Anyway, I skimmed some books (dated late 80's, early 90's) on convertibles and on hedging undervalued converts with a short stock position or with options. This seems to be a solid strategy for creating and maintaining wealth and the historical return data confirms it.

I wanted to get your opin on hedged convert investing. Is it still viable, and what are some of the risks, and what are some company characteristics that make for a good converts trade.
