Since 2009, we have invested approximately $1.6billion across a diverse range of industries, geographies, and financial structures. Our typical investment size is between $2million and $50million, with a focus on distressed loans, special situations, and niche asset finance.

Our expertise is in understanding complex and difficult to value situations. We partner with owners and management teams to provide replacement debt for existing lenders, operating liquidity, and further funding to support transitions back to profitability. Sandton has backed incumbent management in over 98% of 200+ completed transactions with over 50 financial institutions globally. We have a long-term investment philosophy and entrepreneurial approach to developing successful portfolio companies.

The core tenants of our strategy are swift and certainty of execution, confidentiality, and clear communication and transparency. With backgrounds in banking, private equity, hedge funds, and operating company roles, the Sandton team brings a wide breadth of perspectives to each deal. Our investment professionals are in key markets around the world working from offices in New York, Chapel Hill, Houston, and Los Angeles, with additional offices in London, Luxembourg, Madrid, and Paris. This allows us to be well-attuned to the local business realities where we invest, and uniquely positions us to execute complex multi-jurisdictional investments.

Sandton's attractiveness is due to flexible mandate, management/company support, and ability to move quickly with transparency in complex and challenging environments. The approach is opportunistic: from acquiring distressed or stressed loans to funding management turnaround plans and special situation investments.
