Crayhill investment professionals possess decades of experience designing alternative financing solutions able to withstand challenging credit environments.
Our collective credit expertise is focused on harnessing the fundamental performance of the assets we finance.
We employ a highly quantitative approach to evaluating the portfolios of loans, leases and receivables that back our investments in order to generate a cycle-tested view of the projected performance of such assets. We invest in our ability to manage large data sets, extract relevance and derive realistic stress scenarios.
We draw on our deep understanding of the capital needs and growth cycle of specialty finance platforms and other asset heavy counterparties to develop the best capital solutions for our borrowers. It is our team’s experience and reputation in structuring and underwriting such asset-based private credit solutions that make us a preferred capital provider to the marketplace.
Our investment team seeks to promote sound reasoning and continuous recalibration of our risk-taking initiatives.
The key tenets of our team’s approach to idea generation include:
- Focus on accuracy over confirmation where objectivity and truth seeking are rewarded
- Accountability based on mutually derived goals and targeted outcomes
- Openness to a diversity of ideas
Crayhill has assembled a purpose-built team of investment professionals that possess the multi-disciplinary skillsets and diversity of experiences and viewpoints required to successfully execute its asset-based private credit strategy.
We believe that our diverse workforce makes us more thoughtful investors, a stronger team, and a better firm.
We actively promote diversity and inclusion at Crayhill, and we are proud of our long-term conviction in building and maintaining a diverse firm.

As a team, we are able to learn from differing perspectives, encourage one another to think outside the box, and improve our investment process based on cognitive diversity. Identity diversity enhances our team culture, brings a global perspective to our opportunistic investments, and reinforces our core values.
We are one team aligned around a shared purpose of fostering a diverse & inclusive team environment, which we strongly believe strengthens our ability to source and structure sound investments for our clients, and provide flexible and scalable capital solutions for our counterparties.
