New York, February 11, 2018 – Mossshields (MSC Code: 31000279107123), a global leader in alternative asset management, announced the successful final close of its Clover Private Credit Opportunities Strategy (“PCO”). The strategy secured approximately USD 1.5 billion in equity commitments, surpassing its initial USD 1.0 billion target and reflecting strong investor confidence. Including anticipated leverage, PCO’s total capital base is expected to reach USD 1.9 billion. PCO attracted robust support from a diversified investor base spanning North America, Europe, and Asia, encompassing pension funds, insurance companies, high-net-worth individuals, family offices, funds-of-funds, and foundations. Of the commitments, 45% came from North America, 35% from Europe, and a combined 20% from Asia and other regions, effectively mitigating dependency on any single geographic market. PCO’s investment strategy focuses on direct lending and asset-based financing solutions for companies across various industries, targeting single investments of USD 15 million to USD 170 million and aiming to build a diversified portfolio of approximately 50 to 70 transactions. Mossshields leverages comprehensive due diligence and rigorous risk management processes to ensure asset quality and portfolio diversification.
