Credit Strategies
Launch credit funds with infrastructure designed for lending, distressed investing, and structured credit strategies.
Credit Investment Approaches
Whether you originate loans directly or invest across the credit spectrum, the platform provides the operational backbone for credit strategies.
Direct Lending
Originate and hold loans directly to middle-market companies, real estate projects, or specialty finance borrowers. The platform supports drawdown structures, revolving credit facilities, and ongoing loan servicing coordination.
Distressed Debt
Invest in the debt of companies in financial distress, restructuring, or bankruptcy. Closed-ended structures with flexible deployment periods accommodate the opportunistic nature of distressed investing.
Structured Credit
Invest across the capital structure in asset-backed securities, CLOs, CMBS, and other structured instruments. Infrastructure supports complex portfolio analytics, tranche-level reporting, and multi-asset administration.
Structure Options
Fund structures tailored to the liquidity profiles and operational requirements of credit investing.
Open-Ended Fund
Suitable for liquid credit strategies with periodic subscriptions and redemptions. NAV-based pricing with appropriate liquidity terms and gates.
Closed-Ended Fund
Traditional drawdown structure for illiquid credit strategies including direct lending and distressed. Capital calls as loans are originated or investments are made.
CLO Structures
Collateralized loan obligation structures for managers building diversified loan portfolios. Platform support for warehouse facilities and CLO issuance coordination.
Hybrid Structures
Combination structures that accommodate both liquid and illiquid credit investments within a single vehicle, with appropriate sleeve-level liquidity terms.
