Why invest in this strategy?

Pure Play
Private Credit

The portfolio's main exposure is to private loans written to lower middle-market companies. These loans are structured between Cortland and the borrower, tailored to allow for strong downside protection through stronger covenants, credit enhancements, and close monitoring of financial performance.

Inflation Hedge & Duration Mitigation

Cortland structures its loans on a floored-floating basis, which helps the portfolio stay resilient in the changing interest rate environments while earning investors strong real returns with reliable spread over inflation.

Low Volatility & Correlation

The value of our loans is determined on a fundamental basis using the conservative valuation of balance sheet assets. This fundamental approach leads to portfolio returns with low volatility and low correlation to public markets, making private loans an attractive portfolio diversifier.

Cortland's "Credit Box"

2. Asset-Based
