Credit Team V2

Credit investing that leverages Charlesbank’s extensive industry knowledge, broad network and deep expertise.

Our Story

Charlesbank was established as an independent firm in 1998, generating a strong track record across several business cycles. Today we manage more than $5 billion in assets across both private equity and credit.
In 2016, the firm launched its credit strategy, designed to benefit from the angles and opportunities arising from Charlesbank’s long-term private equity platform. We believe our experience, network and integrated approach allow our credit team to develop differentiated perspectives on investment opportunities.
