SCOR Investment Partners: specialist in the European corporate debt market since 2011
We have been active in the corporate debt market since 2011, specializing in European debt.
We assist mid-sized and large companies issuing syndicated, senior secured loans. This type of speculative-grade financing has attractive characteristics for our investors: recurring returns, secure structures, and secondary market liquidity.
In this deep market, our investment philosophy is based on rigorous fundamental analysis leading to a high degree of selectivity in the choice of issuers we decide to finance.
Our selection process combines fundamental credit analysis (by issuer and by sector) with sustainability considerations.
We build granular and diversified portfolios with defensive positioning, focusing on resilient sectors, sustainable financing structures and protective documentation.
