Europe - Most Active / Top Distressed Debt Funds?

Hi all, Looking to move in the space and I'm trying to map out a comprehensive landscape for distressed debt funds (both HF & PE) in Europe and while there are discussions on that for the US, I can't seem to find updated info for Europe. From what I can gather the topical/top/most active names include Davidson Kempner, SVP, Brigade, Anchorage but what are the others? What are the really active ones in Europe? What are the top performing ones? Some similar discussion on WSO looked at Reorg mentions to estimate how active a fund is, can this be replicated for Europe? Would also be interested in the smaller European funds if they are relevant players. Thanks!

Hedge Fund LinkedIn Review

“My meeting with Kevin Lee was super helpful and went well beyond what I originally expected. We met to discuss my LinkedIn profile, but the conversation also covered the hedge fund space and how I’m thinking about my career as a whole. I really appreciated being able to talk about both how I present myself professionally and the broader direction I want to take. As someone interested in hedge funds but also exploring other paths in finance, it was helpful to have a conversation that connected my profile to my actual interests and goals. Kevin gave me a lot to think about, and I left feeling clearer about my next steps. Overall, I really appreciated his time and willingness to go beyond the original purpose of our meeting.”

Hedge Fund Mock Interview

“He was very responsive and prepared for the meeting. He actually read the JD, resume, and looked up linkedin which sometimes other mentors doesn't actually go over those to prepare things beforehand. I appreciate his direct comments I think it saved time and actually helped me to know exactly where to improve. I also appreciated him admitting if he doesn't know about specific HF strategy. Only thing I'd suggest for him is probably sending actionable key takeaways after the meeting because other mentors did and that was very helpful. ”
