Core Focus

CVP’s objective is to generate high current interest income at all times and to capture incremental returns from Stressed and Distressed credit investments during market dislocations and credit default cycles. CVP seeks to manage risk by investing predominantly in senior, secured loan and bond investments. The large majority of CVP’s investments are in floating rate loans in “upper middle market” companies. CVP’s investment team has successfully managed Stressed and Distressed credit investment portfolios in each of the last three Credit Default Cycles as well as through the Covid market dislocation and recession. CVP employs fundamental credit and valuation analysis in making its investments, and is an activist in managing its portfolio companies, often leading or co-leading financial restructurings to maximize value.
