Strategy Description
Our London based team focuses on asset acquisition, credit, and deep value opportunities within direct corporates, property, structured finance, special situations, and portfolios of various assets on a pan-European basis. In addition to direct originations, Arena actively co-invests, joint ventures and creates operational partnerships. Arena provides speed of execution, and its flexible capital allows for “out of the box” creative structures to meet borrowers’ financing needs in the following investment areas:
- Corporate Private Credit
- Commercial & Industrial Assets
- Consumer Assets
- Real Estate
- Other related asset classes
Underwriting Ability
Rather than specifically underwriting against an absolute level of EBITDA, Arena seeks to understand the “story” or problem, revenue, assets (non-traditional) and overall enterprise value.
