Senior Direct Lending
Our Senior Direct Lending strategy focuses on traditional bank-style lending through first-lien senior secured loans. We target lower leverage and loan-to-value ratios compared to conventional direct lending, providing conservative financing solutions for established businesses across defensive European industries. This approach ensures capital preservation while delivering stable returns for investors.
Asset-Based Finance
Asset-Based Finance provides senior secured loans against the net asset value of private equity portfolios and corporate working capital requirements. Our low loan-to-value facilities target investment-grade risk profiles, offering flexible financing solutions for both fund managers and operating companies while maintaining strong collateral protection for investors.
Capital Solutions
Capital Solutions offers opportunistic through-the-cycle mandates across senior and subordinated loans, as well as equity investments. This strategy provides tailored capital structures for complex situations, supporting both private equity sponsors and corporate borrowers with innovative financing arrangements that adapt to changing market conditions and specific transaction requirements.
GP Solutions
GP Solutions delivers non-dilutive capital to leading private equity general partners at critical stages of their lifecycle. Our offerings support fund management teams by unlocking value from prior investments, enabling reinvestment in future opportunities while maintaining alignment with limited partners' long-term interests and strategic objectives.
Strategic Capital
Strategic Capital encompasses our diversified private credit strategies that combine direct lending, subordinated financing, and selective equity co-investments. This approach allows us to capitalise on market dislocations while maintaining disciplined risk management, providing investors with diversified exposure across different capital structures and investment horizons.
