Investment Philosophy
We employ a clear, strategic approach to lending to corporate private assets as we seek to deliver attractive risk-adjusted returns to our clients, without taking undue risk. We have invested in private placements as a core fixed income product for over 30 years, and have a quantifiable track record of capital preservation and excess relative value.
Our Value Add
- Dedicated Investment Team: Our highly experienced and dedicated investment team averages more than 20 years of experience and leverages strong, long-term relationships to provide access to a highly competitive market
- Disciplined Credit Underwriting: Our credit-intensive culture emphasizes limiting downside risk and focuses on incremental spread and meaningful covenants
- Proven Track Record: Favorable long-term performance
- Proven Nimble Deployment of Capital with a Disciplined Approach to Value Creation: We offer issuers a variety of debt solutions (fixed, floating, various currencies and tenors, complex structured transactions) and deploy capital across different geographies and asset types. This breadth ensures a disciplined approach to delivering relative value, when excess liquidity in a sector can cause mispricing of risk.
