INVESTMENT SOLUTIONS AND STRATEGIES
Corporate Credit – Brigade invests across public and private corporate credit markets, including investment grade bonds, high-yield bonds, and leveraged loans. The firm seeks consistent value creation through fundamental credit selection and active management across economic cycles.
Structured Credit – The firm allocates to structured products such as asset-backed securities, mortgage-backed securities, and collateralized loan obligations (CLOs). These strategies aim to deliver diversified exposure and attractive risk-adjusted returns within complex credit markets.
Distressed and Special Situations – Brigade actively targets distressed debt, restructurings, bankruptcy situations, and corporate turnaround opportunities. These investments focus on capturing asymmetrical return potential during periods of market dislocation or issuer-specific stress.
Opportunistic Credit – This flexible strategy identifies unique credit opportunities driven by market volatility, liquidity imbalances, capital structure arbitrage, rescue financing needs, or event-driven catalysts.
