Differentiated Strategies
Positioned to Outperform.

LAGO is an alternative investment platform providing bespoke credit solutions to underserved lower middle-market companies. 

Differentiated risk-return investment opportunities in the lower middle-market are abundant and driven by a structural capital supply-demand imbalance. To fully capitalize on the inefficiencies in this market, you need an experienced and disciplined manager with the scale to address the volume of demand.

 

LAGO delivers.

The LAGO Difference

Disciplined Risk Management

We employ multiple layers of risk management strategies for principal preservation, the foundations of which include conservative leverage utilization – at both the fund and position level; multiple financial covenants; sector and geographic diversification; and active position monitoring.

Niche Thematic Investing

We are not generalists.  Instead, we pursue lending opportunities in companies and industries that align with megatrends shaping tomorrow’s economy.  We believe that such alignment provides tailwinds for our portfolio companies to sustain growth and create value for stakeholders.

Multi-disciplinary Investment Team

We employ an experienced senior investment team with expertise developed at leading investment firms pursuing a spectrum of strategies.  As such, the team is conversant investing in complex instruments across the cap table, supporting a structuring edge and strong work-out capabilities.

Price Makers, Not Price Takers

In the markets we serve, limited, diffused competition enables us to command lender-friendly pricing and generate alpha compared to crowded upper middle and BSL credit markets where credit providers are often market-price takers.

Proprietary Originations

We focus our active origination efforts on direct sourcing based on our own investment thesis development and a broad network of sourcing channels that is not dependent on financial sponsor relationships, intermediaries, or syndicates to uncover investment opportunities on our behalf.

Low Volatility

We believe our focus on niche markets and idiosyncratic credit investment opportunities has positively insulated our performance from volatile market dynamics that other strategies have been susceptible to in the post-pandemic era.
