Structured Credit funds

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone has a comprehensive list of firms with offices in London which invest in private pools of loans backed by assets? There isn’t even a term for such funds, I’ve heard of Structured Credit funds, Private Credit funds, and more. 

The ones I know that do, are:

  • Chenavari
  • HPS (European Asset Value)
  • ICG
  • Pollen Street Capital
  • Arrow Global
  • AnaCap
  • Cabot Square
  • CarVal
  • M&G
  • Cerberus
  • PIMCO
  • Davidson Kempner
  • Chorus Capital
  • Ellington Capital
  • Cheyne Capital (Strategic Value Credit)
  • Fortress

cheers!

yeah you won't hear of a firm like Ellington or WAM being referred to as structured credit funds, but that's what they are. Sadly, structured credit doesn't get the same respect as like distressed debt, though they're the most interesting products on the street imo. I can't tell you why. Likely bc there's not as many players outside of Pensions/endowments/treasury teams (who mostly invest in the seniors that usually take up 80-90% of the stack). I just refer to these kind of funds as structured credit-focused funds.

 

I can tell you right now there are a lot more players than this, it’s hard to find a list but trust me do some more digging and you’ll find a whole lot more than this. Honestly can name 5 funds off the top of my head that are in this space that you haven’t named here

I think you are missing quite some of the currently more active players in Europe, especially on the asset backed front. The Deloitte deleveraging reports are a good source to get up to speed. Otherwise, follow the news on latest transactions, eg for the UK project Mercatus comes to mind.

In no particular order / focus:

Elliott 

Attestor Capital

Marathon AM

Centerbridge

Cross Ocean

Octane Capital 

Lone Star

Bain Cap Credit 

BAML SSG - former GLSSG

GS Asset Investing (former group within ESSG now in AM)

KKR

York from time to time

SVP 

They all have a different focus and size appetite with some being more focused on the real estate / Aircraft / Ships / etc.  itself vs. large chunky portfolios,

Happy to elaborate on some specific ones in case you have any questions. 

 

Bumb - any info on Arrow Global? They’re second opportunistic credit fund raised €2.75bn vs. the previous at €1.7bn.
