Private Credit
Crescent Capital Partner’s long and successful operating history, together with its strong relationships, asset management experience, and performance track record, has enabled us to expand into Private Credit strategies as part of our alternative asset management offerings.
Working closely with strategic partners, Crescent Capital Partners, via Crescent Private Credit, has launched two differentiated private credit funds: the “Crescent Corporate Loan Fund” and the “Crescent Structured Credit Fund”, both featuring predominantly floating rate loans held to maturity, with a focus on capital preservation and low correlation to public instruments.
