Credit

We invest in credit by targeting and providing financing for fintechs, e-commerce and other platform businesses which need liquidity and financing for consumers and merchants on technology platforms. We do this by providing an API to plug into technology platforms and having the associated liquidity and financing. Evaluation of credit opportunities and management is through a technology platform to manage portfolio costs and also enable investment at scale using credit score and evaluation algorithms that rely on and mine data. In addition, we provide exposure to syndicated credit investment opportunities by targeting distressed debt, private placements and special situations.
