About Canyon Partners

Canyon Partners is a registered investment adviser and institutional asset manager founded in 1990 and headquartered in Dallas, Texas. It is a multi-strategy investment organization focused on complex credit-oriented opportunities. Its core mandate is a deep value, credit-intensive approach designed to exploit market inefficiencies and situational complexity. In the three decades since its start, the firm has built a significant presence in the global alternative investment landscape, keeping a steady focus on fundamental analysis and structural protection. That longevity in credit markets has let it work through multiple market cycles and develop specialized expertise in distressed and stressed investment environments, while staying true to its founding principles of rigorous research and disciplined execution. Canyon Partners invests across corporate credit, structured credit and Collateralized Loan Obligations (CLOs), and real estate lending and equity investing. It has a global focus, with an active investment presence in North America, Europe, and Asia, which lets the team pursue value-oriented special situations and bespoke financing solutions in major markets worldwide. The methodology is opportunistic and credit-driven, often involving distressed loans, bonds, and securitized products where complexity creates a discount to intrinsic value. Using its deep internal resources, the firm finds idiosyncratic opportunities that need specialized technical or legal expertise to unlock value. Its real estate platform complements this by providing debt and equity capital across property types and capital structures, for diversified exposure to credit-sensitive assets globally. On organizational scale, the firm has more than 200 professionals worldwide, including over 70 investment professionals and 140 business and operations specialists. This infrastructure supports operations across its international offices and a comprehensive approach to asset management and client service. Canyon Partners serves sophisticated investors and clients such as pension and profit-sharing plans, foundations, charities, government and municipal entities, and high-net-worth individuals, and it also manages private funds and pools tailored to institutional mandates. This broad investor base shows its ability to manage capital for global stakeholders with varying risk tolerances and investment horizons. Overall, the platform is a scaled, integrated credit and real estate investment engine able to source and manage complex transactions globally.
