Investment thesis

Bastion delivers customized debt capital solutions in asset-backed specialty finance within the lower middle market, a segment it views as inefficient and overlooked by traditional lenders and large credit funds. It targets diversified portfolios of 20-30 companies secured by granular pools of small-balance consumer and small business loans and other financial contracts carrying complexity premiums. The team emphasizes short-duration, self-liquidating collateral, rigorous credit underwriting, bespoke covenants with early-warning indicators, and continuous monitoring. Focusing on smaller, technology-enabled lenders that cannot access public securitization markets, the firm targets smaller deal sizes offering better pricing and structuring flexibility, aiming for strong risk-adjusted, double-digit annualized net returns over multiple credit cycles.
