GSC Group (New Jersey) GSC Group (New Jersey) Investment ManagersFinance GSC Group specializes in credit-based alternative investment strategies including corporate credit, equity and distressed debt investing and structured mortgage products. The firm's corporate credit group manages collateralized debt obligation (CDO/CLO) funds in both the US and Europe and 2 corporate mezzanine lending funds in Europe. GSC's CDO funds invest primarily in middle-market corporate loans, broadly-syndicated US and European corporate loans, high-yield corporate bonds and US mezzanine corporate debt. They manage these assets within CDO funds to take advantage of the difference between the investment grade borrowing costs of the CDO/CLO funds and the higher yielding returns on the underlying investments in corporate debt securities. Their investment process emphasizes investing in securities of issuers which are attractively priced, hold senior positions in the issuers' capital structures and have low leverage through the purchased debt tranche. GSC seeks to invest in securities issued by industry leaders with sustainable market shares in attractive sectors. GSC invests primarily in first and second lien term loans and mezzanine debt of private US middle-market companies and high yield bonds and may opportunistically invest in distressed debt, debt and equity securities of public companies, credit default swaps, emerging market debt and CDO vehicles holding debt, equity or synthetic securities. GSC's corporate mezzanine lending team provides mezzanine lending in the form of subordinated debt and preferred equity to support financial sponsors, corporations and others seeking to finance LBOs, strategic acquisitions, growth strategies or recapitalizations in Europe. GSC's control distressed debt investment strategy targets companies which they believe are operationally sound, but are overburdened with high levels of debt. GSC's distressed debt investment team often assumes a leadership role in the consensual financial restructuring or bankruptcy process. The acquired debt securities often are converted into new restructured equity at a cost basis that GSC believes represents attractive acquisition valuations. GSC typically focuses on securities that are either the most senior in the capital structure or have only a moderate level of debt senior to them. GSC's Structured Mortgage Products group manages various synthetic and hybrid ABS/CDO funds, a real estate investment trust and also pursues a mortgage-related absolute return strategy. They invest in a full range of asset-backed securities (ABS), commercial mortgage-backed securities and mortgage-backed securities, offering ABS CDO funds and other fund vehicles and separate accounts tailored to the risk preferences of their investors. In addition to its ABS CDOs, GSC's structured finance team manages a real estate investment trust and the GSC Pendulum Fund I which employs a long-only strategy that focuses on purchasing distressed ABS and CDO assets. The fund targets stressed and distressed home equity bonds.	Analyste en capital-investissement	-
