KEY QUOTES:
“Europe is already an important part of CIFC, and the strong business we have built in the region, with approximately $5.7 billion of assets today, gives us a meaningful foundation from which to continue growing. The next phase is about deepening existing client relationships, expanding engagement across the UK and continental Europe, and bringing more of CIFC’s investment capabilities and solutions to European investors.”
Steve Vaccaro, CEO and CIO of CIFC
“CIFC has significant depth across specialist credit markets, and we believe considerably more of it can be made relevant to investors across Europe. Alongside continuing to support our existing strategies, we will be focused on listening closely to clients, strengthening long-term relationships and identifying where CIFC’s capabilities across structured credit, corporate credit and private credit can address evolving portfolio needs.”
