Nordic Credit Partners advises a group of alternative investment funds managed in accordance with the requirements of the Swedish Alternative Investment Managers Act’s (2013:561). The funds are 5 year closed-end funds or evergreen investing in Nordic corporate high yield bonds. The investment strategy is centred around a fundamental value, bottom-up approach based on the board of director’s long-term financial markets experience. The funds target to generate a stable and attractive, risk-adjusted return of 6-9 percent p.a. over time. Each potential investment is evaluated in a thorough and tailored operational, financial and legal due diligence process prior to final approval and subsequently closely monitored throughout the investment period. The funds seek diversification across industries, risk levels and geographies and may apply financial leverage to the portfolio to further improve risk-adjusted return. The funds charge low management fees but apply a performance-based profit-sharing structure where investors are entitled to all profits up to an annual hurdle rate (high watermark) and the remaining profits are attributed 80% to the investors and 20% to the parent company.
The board of directors promotes transparency, openness and cost-control. The funds are operated as Swedish public limited liability companies based in in Stockholm and are registered with, alternatively supervised by, the Swedish FSA.
