Two Strategies

Our Corporate Private Debt Funds offer portfolios of directly originated senior secured loans made to mid-market companies for acquisitions, refinancing, growth capital, management buyouts, expansion capex or project financing. The primary objective is to preserve investor capital while providing premium risk-adjusted returns.
Our Infrastructure Debt Strategies provide a diversifying private credit solution to investors, targeting attractive cash yield with meaningful downside protection. Our approach is focused on originating a diverse portfolio of North American private debt investments in infrastructure projects, with a particular focus on middle market opportunities that offer superior returns due to illiquidity premiums.
