Global Direct Lending Strategy

A Single Global
Direct Lending Solution

Our global strategy offers investors access to North American, European, and Developed APAC direct lending opportunities through a single, integrated solution — powered by one global investment team.

Corinthia’s Global Direct Lending Strategy is built for investors seeking broad exposure to core middle market private credit across developed markets.

What sets us apart is our truly unified global platform. While our team is physically located in London, Frankfurt, New York, and Chicago, we operate as one investment team – with shared processes, philosophy, and oversight.

We maintain overlapping Investment Committee (IC) membership across North America, Europe, and APAC, ensuring consistency in underwriting and decision-making. Our junior resources work cross-borders, and our technology platform ensures that every team member – wherever they are – accesses the same data, layouts, and tools. This integration extends to our sponsor relationships, who benefit from a seamless experience working with Corinthia across continents.

Investment Strategy Senior Debt with
a Sponsor Focus

Corinthia’s team is very experienced managing global direct lending portfolios, having deployed several global fund vintages.  Our strategy follows the same cycle-tested approach our team has executed globally for decades: delivering income while protecting capital.

Key Pillars Include

  1. Core Middle Market Focus

    Targeting companies with EBITDA between $10 and $100 million, where we find the optimal balance of yield, control, and downside protection.

  2. Sponsor Partnerships

    Working with leading middle market private equity sponsors, offering financing solutions that span geographies.

  3. Disciplined Underwriting

    Prioritizing risk over return, avoiding cyclical sectors, and maintaining strict standards around leverage, equity cushion, interest coverage, and documentation.

  4. Intentional Diversification

    Building highly diversified portfolios across 50–100 loan positions, with active oversight of issuer, sector, and geographic allocations. Our global lens allows us to strategically overweight or underweight regions and sectors through market cycles.

Our Investment Committee and senior team bring extensive experience investing and managing global strategies together — across market cycles and multiple fund vintages.

This depth of collaboration, combined with our integrated structure, enables us to deliver a consistent, conservative direct lending solution with global reach and local execution.
