Deerpath Capital Management, a $4.5 billion private credit manager and a provider of cash flow-based senior debt financing to lower middle-market companies across North America, launched its newest international office in London.
The office, located in Berkeley Square, will serve as Deerpath’s European headquarters and will be led by private markets specialist Tania Kutner as head of European investor partnerships. Kutner previously worked at Lloyds Investment and Commercial Banking in leveraged finance and subsequently at Aerius Associates, a London-based placement agent.
“Deerpath has been active in the UK and mainland Europe for several years,” Antonella Napolitano, global head of investor relations and capital formation for Deerpath, said. “As institutional demand for differentiated private credit solutions accelerates, we felt the time was right to establish a local office that would formalize our presence in the region and allow us to better serve the nuanced requirements of its investors.”
Deerpath is actively growing its London office and believes this on-the-ground presence is key to the firm’s expansion within the European investor market. Deerpath has a variety of institutional investors across the UK and mainland Europe including pension funds, insurance companies, fund of funds, family offices and asset managers.
