LONDON Sept 18, 2024 /PRNewswire=연합뉴스/ -- Polus Capital Management ("Polus"), a leading investment management firm specialising in alternative credit strategies, today announces that it has secured a capital commitment for its Special Situations strategy from a wholly owned subsidiary of Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA). Following the commitment, Polus' Special Situations strategy has approximately $5 billion of assets under management[i].

Polus' Special Situations strategy focuses primarily on secondary investments in bonds and loans as part of opportunistic, stressed or distressed situations arising from idiosyncratic or cyclically driven dislocations to corporate enterprise values or hard asset values.

Nicholas Chalmers, Chief Executive Officer of Polus Capital Management, said, "ADIA's capital commitment reflects the growing strength and success of Polus' diversified alternative credit platform. We look forward to the ongoing development of our business while continuing to prioritise the delivery of compelling risk-adjusted returns as we navigate opportunities in credit markets throughout the cycle."
