Private credit markets continue to offer investors a significant premium over public markets. As such, lenders are not only able to generate attractive coupons but also command investor protections in conservative capital structures. With rising US leveraged buyout volumes, demand for mezzanine capital is expected to remain strong —especially against a backdrop of a smaller lending community and relative absence of the CLO ("Collateralized Loan Obligation") market. Highbridge Principal Strategies ("HPS"), a subsidiary of Highbridge Capital Management, LLC ("HCM"), seeks to launch Highbridge Mezzanine Fund II ("Fund II") to take advantage of the current market environment for mezzanine debt capital. HPS has assembled an experienced credit team of 17 professionals, led by Scott Kapnick and Scot French. Fund II is expected to be a continuation of Highbridge's successful strategy in Highbridge Mezzanine Fund I, which has invested in 24 portfolio companies since 2008. Fund II will seek to lend approximately $3 billion to large companies with stable cash flows.
