After 25 years operating in the private markets, we continue to be passionate about private investing and are honored to work with committed investors, lend to compelling companies, and collaborate with our talented professionals.
We feel a deep sense of gratitude to the many clients who have shown trust in our partnership over the years. These relationships, along with the opportunity we see in private credit, are what inspired us to create 5C Investment Partners. Accordingly, we founded 5C with a commitment to 4 core principles:
- A relentless commitment to our clients
- A belief that focusing on credit fundamentals is key to driving investment performance
- A desire to be more than just a capital provider – to be a trusted partner that provides flexible and creative financing solutions
- A view that the best talent yields the greatest opportunity for sustained success – reinforced by a culture of integrity, collaboration, performance, and passion
Our experience has taught us that consistency, thoughtful and quantified evaluation, and a discriminating approach to investment selection are the elements needed to deliver attractive risk-adjusted returns across economic, financial and credit cycles. This has consistently been demonstrated as true across our decades-long careers. We believe today’s opportunity for private credit is even more compelling as companies need creative and responsive financing alternatives not easily obtained from traditional sources.
We believe that 5C needs to earn the trust of our partners every day by getting both the “big things” and the “little things” right. And doing so every day, over decades, is the path to building enduring partnerships.
5C exists to earn your trust. We are excited to do that every day to the best of our abilities.
