Strategy Description
In Europe, we focus on opportunities in asset acquisition, credit, and deep value within direct corporates, property, structured finance, special situations, and portfolios of various assets. In addition to direct originations, Arena actively co-invests, joint ventures and creates operational partnerships. Arena provides speed of execution, and its flexible capital allows for out-of-the-box creative structures to meet borrowers’ needs in the following investment areas:
- Corporate private credit
- Commercial & industrial assets
- Consumer assets
- Real estate
- Other related asset classes
Underwriting Ability
Rather than specifically underwriting against an absolute level of EBITDA, Arena seeks to understand the “story” or problem, revenue, assets (non-traditional) and overall enterprise value.
Sponsorship
Private equity sponsors, independent sponsors, directly with management and owners of assets (companies, hard assets/intangible assets and options), and other related counterparties
