Fasanara embraces leverage

Founder Francesco Filia discusses the firm's multi-strategy fund and new approach to opportunistic leverage.

In private debt, a lot of discussion focuses on the most popular individual strategies at a given point in time. Direct lending has hogged the limelight for many years – a position now under threat from asset-based lending. A host of other strategies also jostle for attention, ranging from distressed debt to mezzanine, and from collateralised loan obligations to litigation finance.
