Our expertise
We invest in various areas of the public and private credit markets where return premiums exist due to complexity, illiquidity or as a result of corporate events. Within public markets, we focus on event-driven credit, performing credit, special situations and structured credit/CLOS. Within Private markets, we focus on unconventional borrowers, transitional capital, rescue financing and distressed/stressed credit, and sponsored/non-sponsored transactions
These opportunities often require significant expertise and resources to source and analyze, due to the complexity of company balance sheets, a lack of publicly available information or illiquidity of the asset.
We seek to drive value across our strategies by:
| • | Leveraging the broader resources, relationships, infrastructure and unique deal flow of FS Investments, a $82B+ alternative asset manager.1 Our team benefits from the robust expertise and support across the organization covering legal, compliance, finance, operations, portfolio management, client relations and technology.1 |
| • | Completing robust, private equity quality due diligence. |
| • | Structuring our investments with downside protection in mind. |
| • | Taking a highly active approach to monitoring and supporting our investments. |
Our ability to draw upon the expertise across the FS Investments platform provides a highly competitive advantage in sourcing investments, diversifying our borrowings and extracting efficiencies across fund operations, technology, due diligence, finance and compliance functions.
