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, driven by one global investment team.

Corinthia’s Global Direct Lending Strategy is designed for investors seeking diversified access to core middle-market private credit opportunities across developed markets.

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

We maintain shared Investment Committee (IC) membership across North America, Europe and APAC, ensuring consistency in underwriting and decision-making. Our junior team works across 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, providing a seamless experience working with Corinthia across continents.

Investment Strategy Senior Debt with
a Sponsor Focus

Corinthia’s team is highly experienced managing global direct lending portfolios, with multiple global fund vintages deployed.  Our strategy applies the same cycle-tested approach our team has executed globally for decades – delivering income and 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 managing global strategies together through market cycles and across multiple fund vintages.

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