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.
