Stone Tower
 
 
Investment Philosophy

We are value-oriented investors seeking to generate superior risk-adjusted returns by allocating capital based on a disciplined investment process and a strong risk management culture. The cornerstone of our investment process is to develop a view on the enterprise value or asset value coverage of an investment (margin of safety), the structure and trading liquidity of an investment, and the relative value of an investment. We do this through an exhaustive, team-based approach to due diligence, active investment monitoring and portfolio management. We oftentimes seek out event-driven investment opportunities that may include restructurings, refinancings, de-leveraging or leveraging events, or M&A activity. Our overall objective is to avoid loss of investment principal while mitigating the volatility of our investments and delivering outstanding returns.
