The key to longevity in Asset Based Finance is disciplined underwriting. This is something that we at Sculptor have been doing and refining for nearly 20 years.

Time and time again, we see trouble in one area create opportunity in another - the “baby with the bathwater” in its simplest form.?With defaults surging in office SASB bonds, we are finding opportunities in other SASB sectors, in particular lodging, where our experience as asset based finance and commercial real estate investors results in uncovering some gems that fall through the cracks. https://bit.ly/3LxOgC2
