About Challenger IM

Since 2005, our leading alternative credit platform has delivered strong risk adjusted returns in public and private credit markets. Many private credit investors claim to be the first call on a new transaction. But few can offer evidence of this throughout multiple cycles across multiple markets.

We are value investors in credit markets, rotating between public and private credit according to where we see the best value whilst always maintaining discipline around price.

Our credit portfolios benefit from an independent credit risk oversight and valuation function. As part of a publicly listed and regulated insurance group, our risk management framework undergoes continuous and rigorous scrutiny, enhancing discipline and leading to better investment outcomes.

Responsible Investment

Our Philosophy & approach

Every basis point matters in credit markets, whether they are public or private. Unlike many private lending platforms, we have a mark to market philosophy and will move into and out of different parts of the credit market dependent on where we see the best value.

Our platform takes a private approach to lending. A private approach means underwriting credit risk as an owner, not a trader. Direct engagement combined with detailed underwriting allows us to provide more flexible solutions to borrowers and to charge an appropriate excess return for such solutions. Ultimately, we believe this leads to better return outcomes for our clients.
