Investment thesis

Cheyne Capital seeks to identify and capitalise on investment opportunities arising from market dislocations and inefficiencies. The firm invests across the capital structure, spanning credit to equity in corporate and real estate assets, through four core pillars: real estate finance (senior loans through to equity), strategic value credit providing constructive capital to European mid-market corporates in difficulty or transition, investment-grade and crossover corporate credit, and long-short equity alternatives. Its approach emphasises research-driven, fundamental investing, active portfolio management and preservation of capital, with dedicated teams focused on each strategy. The firm positions itself as an innovator offering clients access to uncrowded investments.
