Investment Capabilities
Saluda Grade applies a vertically integrated approach to asset-based credit, enabling investor access to higher-yielding, specialized asset classes.
We target emerging, fragmented or inefficient areas of asset-based finance, often partnering with smaller and midsized originators to obtain enhanced access to deal flow, and institutionalizing evolving alternative asset classes to broaden their access to larger pools of capital.
By doing so, we are seeking to create a powerful, self-reinforcing “flywheel” effect that helps drive strong value creation for investors, borrowers, and originators.
Today our process is focused on alternative credit asset classes in the $50 trillion 1 US residential sector. We have also expanded into commercial real estate credit through the acquisition of Hillcrest Finance.
Investors can access these alternative asset classes through our income-oriented and credit strategies, securitizations, early-stage growth equity investments, and customized solutions.
Asset-Based Credit
We manage more than $4 billion 2 across securitization and income-oriented and credit funds that enable investors to access a variety of alternative credit return streams across the return, risk, duration, and liquidity spectrum.
Growth Equity
Saluda Grade’s growth equity strategy targets minority investments in early-stage, high-potential originators and fintech platforms within the alternative credit universe. By combining strategic capital with hands-on partnership, we help talented teams scale operations, expand loan production, and unlock long-term value.
