Alternative Credit

We bring sophisticated credit strategies, typically only available from mega funds to smaller companies and a wider range of investors. This allows us to support more companies in their efforts to expand, innovate and support local communities through job creation.

We apply a rigorous bottom-up approach to credit underwriting, without losing sight of the full picture. As business opportunities, complexities, and global competition grow ever stronger, we believe proactive management is increasingly important for what was previously a passive asset class.

Our credit platform includes opportunistic credit, direct lending and asset-based finance.

Investor Solutions

Who We Serve

As a premier alternative credit manager, we specialize in offering high-quality credit opportunities to pensions, asset managers, insurance companies, family offices, private wealth channels and other limited partners, delivering attractive risk-adjusted returns tailored to their investment needs.

As stewards of capital, we provide a diverse array of solutions, encompassing evergreen, closed end and co-investment opportunities, granting flexibility and accessibility to investors. Whether seeking a diversified portfolio with customized liquidity terms or participation in special purpose vehicles, our strategies adjust to evolving needs, ensuring a personalized investment approach.
