Our approach
Working in partnership with clients, we structure bespoke deals across a variety of asset classes to deliver required outcomes. These include risk mitigation and tailored structuring for needs such as matching-adjustment eligibility. Deals may include CLOs, aviation, trade finance, swap repacks, guaranteed loans and other structured assets in a broad range of credit ratings and tenors, through GBP, EUR and USD-denominated transactions.
The strength and depth of our independent credit research team is leveraged to provide robust governance and we follow a disciplined investment process that incorporates, but is not bound by, environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria. Many trades enable us to use underlying assets as collateral (e.g. aircraft or real estate) for greater security against the transaction risks. Our expertise includes actuarial and derivative pricing with strong risk controls for pension and insurance clients.
