Trevor Clark, Founder & Managing Partner, Twin Brook Capital Partners, a Division of Angelo Gordon joins Julie Cooling, Founder & CEO, RIA Channel to discuss his firm’s differentiated approach to direct lending as well as private credit trends and opportunities.
Over the last several years, there has been a surge of investor demand for private credit access as well as an emergence of managers and fund structures. The direct lending asset class, in particular, offers investors the potential for enhanced risk-adjusted returns, protection from interest rate and duration risk, as well as key diversification benefits.
“Our strategy within the world of direct lending is very specifically focused on capital preservation. We want to produce the most attractive, repeatable returns,” says Clark on Twin Brook’s highly selective due diligence process. Rather than chasing the highest possible returns, no matter how volatile, Twin Brook seeks lowers middle market companies in steady industries like manufacturing, distribution and service.
Twin Brook Capital Partners, a division of Angelo Gordon is a leader in middle market financing and direct lending solutions. Since 2014, the firm has closed 959 transactions and issued roughly $22.1B in commitments. The firm touts a highly experienced management team, which collectively has closed over 1,100 transactions with 200+ different middle market private equity firms.
