Mountain Point Credit Management has launched a US broadly syndicated loan investment platform with $1.3bn (£992m) in assets under management.
The asset manager said that it adopts a data-driven approach rather than relying on analyst-driven research like traditional loan managers. It claims this gives it visibility into three times more borrowers than the industry average, and insight into more than 1,000 issuers.
The firm is led by founder and chief executive Kelly Byrne, who was previously a senior portfolio manager and head of capital markets at Voya Investment Management.

“With a differentiated platform rooted in a systematic and disciplined process, Mountain Point is pioneering a new era in loan investing,” said Byrne.
“We’re proud to offer investors efficient, information-driven access to a resilient asset class by delivering a level of diversification and optimisation previously out of reach in the loan market.”

Byrne has launched Mountain Point in partnership with Eagle Point Credit Management, which is a $13bn investment manager focused on private credit strategies in inefficient markets.
Eagle Point’s previous ventures include collateralised loan obligation (CLO) analytics firm Valitana and CLO collateral manager Marble Point Credit Management.
She is joined by head of loan trading Tim Maloney, who previously launched and led Citigroup’s CLO optimisation business.
Phil Li is Mountain Point’s chief financial officer and chief operating officer, having held the same roles at Marble Point Credit Management, while Steve Rubich, the former chief information officer at Contrarian Capital Management, has joined Mountain Point as chief technology officer.
