Absolute Return Funds
ICP Absolute Return platform offers investors unique solutions for their Fixed Income Investment strategies. ICP's Investment Management mission is to generate attractive risk adjusted returns by capitalizing on tactical macro trends effecting traditional fixed income markets and by identifying uncorrelated opportunities in direct lending and capital market origination. We believe that successful fixed income investing is predicated upon understanding the combination of 'top-down macro drivers of risk to liquidity, credit, and interest rates inherent in fixed income investments and applying bottom up risk analysis insights to generate asymmetric return opportunities.
ICP is one of the leading Structured Finance asset managers worldwide with over $11 billion in Assets Under Management. In 2008 ICP expanded this business through the addition of 11bln of cash flow CDO structures via acquisition. The company expects to provide its management expertise as replacement manager for existing structured funds going forward.

- Multi Strategy Fixed Income
- Tactical and Customized Strategies
- Direct Lending and Origination
ICP's flagship fund, the Strategic Credit Income Fund (SCIF), is ICP's endeavor to exploit tactical "hedged" trading opportunities within residential mortgage and asset backed securities, commercial real estate, and corporate credit exposures, with approximately 70-75% of its equity capital and to capitalize upon non-correlated direct lending and origination opportunities with 25-30% of its capital.
The ICP Pendulum platform has been designed to enable ICP's investment partners to articulate cyclical investment themes and devise customized investment products within the fixed income markets. ICP's risk managers recognize that many investment themes are cyclical in nature and asymmetric returns can be achieved; however, once the assets revert to their mean, this is not a permanent portfolio investment strategy. ICP Pendulum enables our investors to leverage the risk management expertise of ICP to capture these more concentrated "moment in time" opportunities, harvest gains and exit the strategy without exposure to "neighbor risk" inherent in many funds. Furthermore, its shared operational infrastructure offers institutional investment clients a cost efficient platform to utilize ICP for specialized management mandates such as Core Plus and Portable Alpha strategies.
ICP Direct Lending and Origination Fund leverages ICP's origination banking capabilities and asset management capabilities to capture attractive risk adjusted returns within direct lending strategies. ICP's Direct Lending and Origination fund is being launched in 2009 to capitalize on the systemic dislocation within the non-bank credit markets by providing secure cash flow senior and mezzanine financing to companies.
