Meet the Team

A Unique Lens on Opportunity

  • Our deep expertise and proprietary technology support our ability to unearth opportunities in uncrowded, underserved, high-growth areas. 

  • Potential advantages for investors include consistent income with a focus on capital preservation and access to high quality, unique deals, unavailable to the broader market.

  • ​Borrowers benefit from bespoke solutions built for each company’s unique needs.

  • ​For both parts of the growth equation, we offer exceptional service and transparency, and a commitment to building sustained, long-term relationships.

About Us

Our investment team combines industry insight and expertise with a strong network of advisors and institutional quality operations, enabling us to support our borrowers and LPs effectively. With a deep understanding of market dynamics, extensive experience in credit analysis and portfolio management in various market cycles, and, importantly, an unwavering discipline in risk management, Chestnut Run Capital is well positioned to deliver both positive returns and outcomes. 

Our Proprietary Platform

In building a firm fit for today’s borrower requirements and LP expectations, we took the opportunity to freshly architect an integrated data-first platform. Unhindered by legacy technology requirements, we have deployed pathbreaking tools across our business. For example, we have partnered with companies to unlock intelligent insights into data at scale and provide real-time oversight of certain borrowers, collateral, and assets. Having access to this wider set of information allows us to be more nimble and manage risk more effectively.
