Shenkman Capital Management, Inc.
Shenkman Capital Management, Inc. Investment ManagersFinance Shenkman focuses on researching and investing across the entire capital structure of highly leveraged companies through in-depth, bottom-up, fundamental credit analysis. The firm seeks to invest primarily in higher quality debt of lower rated companies with strong and/or improving financial characteristics, while generally seeking to avoid those with a greater probability of default. They apply a risk-averse philosophy based on bottom-up fundamental credit analysis across all market environments. Their investment philosophy centers on the basic tenet that comprehensive, fundamental credit research is the key to realizing above-average returns over a full market cycle. Shenkman believes this core principle is essential to properly manage the inherently higher credit risk associated with below investment-grade assets. | Directeur Général | 01/07/1985 |
