Senior Direct Lending
Our Senior Direct Lending strategy provides first-lien senior secured loans to European mid-market businesses. This traditional direct lending approach focuses on lower leverage and loan-to-value ratios compared to conventional strategies. We support buyouts, growth financing, and working capital needs through directly originated investments with defensive industry positioning.
Asset-Based Finance
We offer asset-based solutions including NAV Financing against private equity fund portfolios and working capital financing for corporate needs. Our approach combines senior secured loan structures with low loan-to-value facilities, targeting investment-grade risk profiles while providing institutional capital access to growing businesses.
GP Solutions
Our GP Solutions provide non-dilutive strategic capital to private equity firms at critical growth stages. This flexible financing helps general partners unlock value from prior fund investments, supporting future fund commitments and growth initiatives while maintaining ownership control and strategic flexibility.

We deliver tailored capital structures across the credit spectrum, including senior and subordinated loans alongside opportunistic equity investments. Our through-the-cycle mandate allows flexible deployment in various market conditions, combining traditional lending with innovative capital structures to meet specific borrower requirements.
