The team sources and manages assets across the European sub-investment grade debt capital markets. Cordatus structures and manages tailored funds and vehicles to an agreed investment strategy depending on investor risk appetite and asset allocation preference.
Cordatus maintains a conservative approach to managing credit assets. The European market is largely a private market with detailed due diligence and documentation, in contrast to the highly liquid 'public' US market. Cordatus Funds have committed finance and equity in place which allows protection against market price movements and the forced sale of assets.
Cordatus currently manages four Funds with AUM of €1.5 billion.
The Funds have differing structures, varying degrees of leverage
and distinct investment strategies.
