The strategy targets a return of low teens, net of fees per annum. Active management is key to deliver this return, with a focus on deep structural and collateral analysis and relative value between instruments and markets.
Strategy overview
- We see opportunities in the structured credit market across the capital structure, in both senior and mezzanine/equity tranches, across different collateral types and in both the U.S. and Europe.
