Investment Criteria

How we evaluate opportunities

Across both real assets and private credit, Core Plus applies a consistent framework for evaluating investment opportunities.

01

Asset & Credit Quality

Underlying asset quality, borrower creditworthiness, and the fundamental characteristics of each opportunity — evaluated through rigorous due diligence.

02

Cash-Flow Generation

Focus on investments with demonstrable, sustainable cash-flow generation — supporting downside protection and long-term value creation.

03

Downside Protection

Collateral, leverage discipline, covenant structures, and structural protections designed to preserve capital across market cycles.

04

Risk-Adjusted Returns

Opportunities evaluated on risk-return characteristics relative to market fundamentals, with a selective approach to sourcing and execution.
