Old Hill specialises in asset-based lending transactions with small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs).
In concurrent with the transaction, Spouting Rock established a new subsidiary, called Spouting Rock Alternative Credit (SR Alternative Credit), to house the asset-based lending business of Old Hill.
The unit, which will be led by ex-Old Hill employees Jeff Haas and Peter Faigl, aims to pin down ‘opportunities for risk-adjusted returns in private debt well in excess of those available to traditional credit investors’.
In addition, it will act as the investment advisor to Old Hill’s current funds and other investment vehicles.
