THE FIRM | Our Advantage
Partnerships built on trust and long term relationships
Talent
Our professionals focus on generating forward-looking investments for institutional investors and executing specialized investment strategies. As a boutique firm, we differentiate ourselves by being able to offer clients more senior-level attention than may be available from many of our competitors. We pride ourselves on the level of talent at the firm and our ability to retain and recruit some of the best and brightest in our industry.
Independence
We are a private firm, 95.1 percent owned by employees. As an independent firm, free of many of the conflicts that can arise at larger financial institutions as a result of their varied activities, we offer candid financial advice. We strongly believe alignments of interest are necessary for long-term, productive relationships.
Reputation
Although a young company, our firm has a strong following in the bond markets and alternative fixed income investment sectors. Global banking firms, insurance companies and investment management firms rely on our world-class expertise to guide them in the complex, global asset-backed markets.
Focus
We are focused on the bond markets - Corporate and Asset-Backed Bonds and Loans -rather than on a broad range of financial sectors. We act as a principal investor in our funds and participate alongside many of our investors in investment strategies we promote. We believe our capital commitments attract investment partners and help recruit top-notch professionals who want to work in a firm that invests in its own ideas. Furthermore, we believe that companies we advise find our guidance well vetted and tested due to our principal participation in the markets.
Risk Aware
We think our success in turbulent markets is the ultimate measure of our risk management skills. However, we do not underestimate the preparation and forethought in building a disciplined, risk aware platform. We have developed some of the industry's most sophisticated risk measurement systems, constructed the processes to manage and execute on our market risk, and staffed people who sweat the nitty-gritty.
Strong Culture
Our people are committed to excellence and integrity in their activities. A testament to our success is our distinctive culture and ability to build highly productive relationships with some of the world's largest investors. The core values that promote this manner of professionalism are reinforced by the significant and direct economic stake our Managing Directors have in our success.
