Glossary
Private credit/debt:
typically invest in non-listed debt issues, including bonds, notes, and loans issued by private companies. Private credit/debt has the potential to provide greater returns, control and reduced liquidity, than public markets.
Alternative credit:
invests in below-investment-grade fixed income sectors that are relatively illiquid. Alternative credit may not be available to investors for direct investment as individuals but can be accessed through professionally managed traditional mutual funds.
Special situations:
involve investments in distressed or event-driven opportunities, such as companies undergoing financial restructuring, bankruptcy or significant corporate events.
Structured credit:
involves investments in complex financial products, such as mortgage-backed securities or other asset-backed securities, which are created by pooling various debt instruments and redistributing their risks and returns.
Collateralised loan obligations:
(CLOs) are securities backed by a diversified pool of corporate loans. They are structured in tranches, with varying levels of risk and return, providing investors with a way to invest in leveraged loans with a spread of risk.
Benefit Street Partners is a Specialized Investment Manager (“SIM”), part of the Franklin Templeton Group.
