Alternative Credit

Distressed Debt, Structured Credit and Direct Lending

Objective

Our three alternative credit strategies – distressed debt, structured credit and direct lending – each invest in a diversified pool of non-traditional credit funds with the aim of generating attractive total return through both income and capital appreciation over the long term.

Philosophy

In our view:

alternative credit markets are often less efficient and more labour-intensive than traditional credit markets, with, typically, higher barriers to entry;
for each portfolio it is possible to reduce overall risk by creating diversified pools of specialist credit managers with complementary expertise and approaches; and
each of these strategies can generate significant yield pick-up versus traditional fixed income.

Approach

Our experienced team manages, multi-manager portfolio’s for distressed debt, structured credit and direct lending. The team follows a disciplined, structured process designed to:

enhance diversification and reduce concentration risk to specific companies, sectors, geographies or managers;
enable access to best-in-class specialist managers not always available to other investors; and
deliver an enhanced liquidity profile for our investors, while giving them immediate investment exposure.
