Atalaya Capital Management

Atalaya Capital Management is a private investment firm specializing in opportunistic credit and real estate investments. Founded in 2006, the firm is headquartered in New York City and has managed over $10 billion in assets under management as of June 30, 2024. Atalaya focuses on asset-based credit investments across consumer and commercial finance, corporate, and real estate assets. Since inception, the firm has deployed over $17 billion across more than 600 investments, sourcing nearly 70% of deal flow directly through asset owners, originators, or joint venture partners. In July 2024, Atalaya agreed to be acquired by Blue Owl Capital Inc. for $450 million, a transaction that was completed in September 2024. Following the acquisition, Ivan Zinn was appointed as Blue Owl's Head of Alternative Credit, reporting to Craig Packer, Head of Credit and Co-President of Blue Owl.

Atalaya's investment strategy encompasses a wide range of asset classes, including specialty finance, real estate, and corporate assets. The firm employs a flexible approach, targeting investments in markets not well served by traditional lenders or the broader capital markets. This strategy allows Atalaya to capitalize on opportunities across various sectors and stages, including buyouts and distressed situations. The firm's expertise in asset-based credit investments enables it to provide tailored solutions to meet the unique needs of its portfolio companies.

The firm's track record reflects its ability to navigate complex investment landscapes and deliver value to its investors. Atalaya's commitment to direct sourcing of deal flow and its specialization in asset-based credit investments have been key factors in its success. The acquisition by Blue Owl Capital is expected to enhance Atalaya's capabilities in alternative credit and asset-based finance, further solidifying its position in the market. The combined entity aims to leverage its expanded resources and expertise to pursue a broader range of investment opportunities and continue delivering strong performance for its investors.
