Octagon Credit Investors, LLC

Octagon Credit Investors, LLC is an 18-year old, $6.4B below-investment grade corporate credit manager focused on leveraged loans and high yield bonds. The firm was founded in 1994 as a separate business unit of Chemical Bank; in 1999, Octagon spun out from Chase Manhattan Bank. Octagon honors its heritage through its company name and logo, both of which are derived from Chase Manhattan’s emblem. Since separating from the bank, Octagon has been independently managed by its employee shareholders. Located in New York, the firm currently comprises 36 employees, many of whom have spent their entire professional careers at Octagon. Through fundamental credit analysis and active portfolio management, Octagon’s investment team identifies attractive relative value opportunities across below-investment grade asset classes, sectors and issuers. Octagon’s investment philosophy and methodology encourage and rely upon dynamic internal communication to manage portfolio risk. Over its history, the firm has applied a disciplined, repeatable and scalable approach in its effort to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns to its investors. Octagon’s efforts are enhanced by the expertise of its private equity affiliate, CCMP Capital Advisors, LLC (“CCMP Capital”). In 2008, CCMP Capital’s parent company, CCMP Capital, LLC, purchased a majority ownership stake in Octagon. Owing in part to their firms’ similar pedigrees, Octagon and CCMP Capital’s senior management share an extensive professional history and culture dedicated to serving their respective investors and, when appropriate, Octagon and CCMP Capital’s investment teams are able to leverage their respective industry and market expertise.
