About RiverBay Capital

Always Prioritize Investors

RiverBay Capital is a founder-led, boutique, alternative investment manager, established on the principle that investors come first. That principle is reflected in our strategy, our size and our structure.

We invest across the private credit spectrum: corporate private credit, asset-backed and specialty finance, and bespoke capital solutions for borrowers that do not fit a conventional mandate.

Investment Strategy

Conviction outside the crowd. Consistent Execution.

RiverBay focuses on the non-sponsor and boutique sponsor market spanning three complementary strategies that diversify our exposure across a spectrum of sectors, assets, and solutions.

Disciplined Underwriting

Active Monitoring

Structural Protection

Rigorous Risk Management

01

Corporate Private Credit

Focus on non-sponsor and boutique sponsor corporate lending to companies across multiple sectors in North America and Western Europe. Targeting companies with $20M to $50M+ EBITDA and favoring business with low cyclicality. We underwrite the business and we customize the structure.

  • Senior secured bias
  • Tailored covenant packages
  • Held, not distributed
02

Asset-Backed & Specialty Finance

Customized financings to specialty finance companies, asset originators, and asset-intensive businesses. Focus on high-quality, cash-flow-producing assets: loans, leases, receivables, contractual cash flows and/or tangible collateral. Structures where the collateral is highly atomized.

  • Collateral-backed
  • Cash-flow tested
  • Bespoke structures
03

Capital Solutions

Tailored solutions that do not fit a standard mandate, where complexity, time pressure, or a borrower's needs do not have a clear answer. Credit-centric, flexible, tailored, financings across the capital structure, asset classes, and sectors.

  • Complex capital structures
  • Time-sensitive execution
  • Global mandate

Leadership

Experienced Across Multiple Credit Cycles

20+ years of partnership building and running private credit businesses across two institutions and diverse market environments, products, sectors, asset classes and geographies.
