Sound Point Capital Management

Sound Point Capital Management is an alternative asset management firm founded in 2008, specializing in credit strategies. The firm manages assets on behalf of institutional investors, including pensions, foundations, insurance companies, wealth management firms, and family offices. As of December 2024, Sound Point managed over $45 billion in assets. The firm's strategies encompass a wide range of credit alternatives, including funds and managed accounts focused on leveraged loans, special situations, distressed debt, structured credit, direct lending, and commercial real estate.

The firm's investment approach is centered on preserving capital across various market conditions and generating attractive returns with low volatility. Sound Point's senior portfolio management team boasts an average of 25 years of experience in the credit markets. The firm has expanded its capabilities through strategic partnerships, such as the acquisition of Assured Investment Management in 2023, which added approximately $15.2 billion in assets under management, predominantly across CLOs and structured asset-backed investments.

Sound Point's growth trajectory is further evidenced by the successful closing of its third direct lending fund in September 2024, raising $1.2 billion in capital. This fund focuses on lending to established, smaller and mid-sized U.S. companies operating in stable industries. The firm's commitment to responsible investing is demonstrated by its status as a signatory of the UN-supported Principles of Responsible Investment (PRI).
