About Us
Our Approach
At the heart of our investment strategy lies a deep fundamental understanding of the European Credit markets.
Credit investment at Chenavari goes beyond identifying value solely based on fundamentals. Timing, execution and tail risk management play an equal part on our decisions to invest. We endeavour to generate long-term value for our clients by focusing on the upside potential as much as the downside risk.
Our strategies span the full spectrum of credit investments from the most liquid tradable corporate security, to leveraged finance transactions, and a wide range of private debt origination.
