Our private debt capabilities were established in 1991. Embedded within our broader fixed income team, our credit analysts and dedicated private placement team collaborate on both credit and structural points from the onset of every deal. We strive to invest in credits and structures that provide diversification and enhanced covenant protections versus the public investment grade market. Returns are driven by security selection, private premiums and make-whole payments. As a highly-respected market participant, our long-standing network and relationships in the investment community grant us access to the market.

Investment Philosophy

Our investment approach combines bottom-up research with top-down sector selection to consistently seek favorable, risk-adjusted results. We believe that the volatility of market prices exceeds that of fundamental asset values. This dislocation creates opportunities for investors with the skilled personnel, infrastructure and insight necessary to identify relative value generated by market inefficiencies.
