It will invest in corporate credit, special situations and stressed and distressed real estate debt.

Its first Asia-dedicated fund is mainly backed by US LPs as well as a few Asian LPs and some European LPs. The firm seeks limited partners with equity cheques ranging from $10 million to $200 million apiece for fund commitments.
