Credit Investments

Investments Capital Markets Credit Investments

The credit team employs a relative-value approach across all investable credit assets, including asset-backed structured credit, collateralized loan obligations, credit risk transfer securities and other structured macro indices.

We employ a relative-value approach to investing in this asset class, which compares the value of assets across all investable credit assets. As our outlook changes, we can increase or decrease our capital allocation to credit investments depending on our expectations for risk-adjusted returns and relative value.

Liquid and Macro Credit

Since investments in this portfolio are liquid and our investment strategy is agile, we can take greater risks where we have confidence and respond to shorter-term market disruptions (such as unexpected market ups and downs) and adjust our portfolio accordingly. For our team, preserving the capital we invest is key to our long-term performance.

What sets us apart

Capital preservation

We focus on preserving capital and limiting the risks posed by major market declines. Through disciplined portfolio construction and selective investment decisions, we carefully manage how, what and where we invest.

Adaptive to changing market conditions

We continuously monitor evolving market environments and adjust our positioning accordingly. In-depth research and rigorous analysis inform our decisions and help drive resilient, risk-aware performance.

Deep technical expertise

We bring extensive experience across a broad range of investment products, including investment grade and high-yield, collateralized loan obligations (CLOs), Capital Relief Trades, and other macro strategies.

Structured Credit

We pursue a multi-asset structured credit strategy to enhance diversification and deliver attractive risk-adjusted returns. We focus on structurally sound, complexity-driven opportunities where technical dislocations create pricing inefficiencies and differentiated return drivers supported by contractual cash flows. Risk is deliberately calibrated based on collateral quality, capital structure positioning, and cycle conditions, with disciplined downside underwriting embedded in every investment.

What sets us apart

Technical depth across sectors

We invest across a broad range of securitized assets, including commercial and residential real estate, consumer credit, intellectual property royalties, aviation, and trade finance. Our cross-sector expertise supports rigorous collateral analysis, structuring skills, and disciplined relative value assessment across markets.

Structural advantage

We originate and structure transactions to enhance capital preservation and optimize risk-adjusted returns. Our approach emphasizes conservative structural protections, strong covenants, cash flow visibility, and alignment of interests.

Global structured credit expertise

With deep experience across global structured credit markets, we apply detailed cash flow modeling and scenario analysis to evaluate performance across economic environments. We target investments offering inflation-linked asset appreciation, recurring contractual income, and structural principal protection, even within complex or less liquid segments.
