Strategies
Private Credit
Invesco Private Credit is one of the world’s largest and longest-tenured private credit managers. We leverage a consistent, conservative fundamental credit process to pursue opportunities across senior secured loans, direct lending, and distressed debt and special situations.
Senior Secured Loans
Our investment philosophy is grounded in a fundamental bottom-up risk assessment of each asset we invest in coupled with top-down macro risk positioning tied to broader economic trends and processes.
Distressed Credit and Special Situations
We believe that inefficient markets can provide attractive risk-adjusted returns regardless of economic cycles. Our integrated global credit platform provides a competitive edge in sourcing, diligence, and execution.
Multi-Strategy Private Credit
Our ability to leverage the Invesco Private Credit platform and allocate across private asset classes based on the market environment or investor risk/return objectives is a defining feature of our approach.
