Was approached about a seat here last year. They hired some person who was in the US doing L/S equities to run the European franchise and shipped over one of their analysts from the US to help build out the team. From memory, the mandate is almost entirely public credit and they have some arrangement where they hand off certain trades/deals to the US teams. They’ve been quite publicly involved in some of the largest distressed situations in Europe this year so clearly have the willingness to deploy but early days given it’s still a relatively new team.

Could you disclose the HH that approached you + whether they were looking for buysiders only?

 

Their largest position is Thames Water (tbd whether that works out or sinks them and Elliott…)


Not surprising they’re building up the office across the pond
