Their website claims to do distressed. Also, they have funds on Bloomberg that are listed as closed ended and hedge funds. I know that they do mezz lending and some BDC stuff, but it also seems that some of the funds are most fixed income investment mgmt.

Not saying that you are wrong valueisoverrated, just trying to clarify a few things.

They're also featured on some HF websites for awards. Hedge Week best Distressed securities manager is one of them. And I think I misstated AUM.

People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for freedom of thought which they seldom use.
 

They are affiliated with BNY Mellon. Mostly do middle market mezz lending and some minority equity investments. Have a focus on healthcare, but not sure what other industries they are active in. Have spoken with a few people there, but didn't end up moving forward on the deal so can't provide a ton of color. They seem to be active, have a stable capital base and the team seems pretty solid - if mezz is your thing I think it could be a good opportunity.
