The global purchase of CSG Systems by hedge fund Sedgefield Capital is notable in that the deal represents a new stake in the SaaS company. The purchase was significant, bringing CSG Systems into 20 of the fund’s positions out of 102, representing 1.8% of AUM.

The purchase came during the fourth quarter for CSG Systems. On October 29, the company announced that it was being acquired by NEC Corporation for $80.70 per share in cash. This represents a total enterprise value of about $2.9 billion.

If Sedgefield Capital’s purchase had come before this announcement, when CSG shares were below $70 per share, the fund would have made a nice profit. However, for investors considering buying into CSG Systems International at this stage, the opportunity for significant upside has largely been passed up. With the NEC acquisition, shares are hovering around the $80.70 purchase price, and therefore, now is not a good time to buy.
