Our Partnership Model

How We Partner with Investors

We are pleased to partner with clients by sharing insights, expertise and access to opportunities across credit markets, whether through advisory or co-investment.

Recognising that every investor’s requirements are different, we work on a bespoke and relationship-led basis.

Advisory

Advisory mandates involve detailed analysis of credit structures, transaction dynamics and downside risk. Ironshield provides independent insight to support informed investment decisions across complex credit situations.

Co-Investment

Ironshield works directly with partners, regularly sharing relevant opportunities and defining investment remit and parameters together. This ensures that only the most applicable transactions are presented. In addition to live opportunities, Ironshield also provides insights on positions already held within portfolios where actionable solutions may exist, allowing investors to engage and deploy capital at their own pace.
