WHY SCYTHIAN
Our edge comes down to the playbook, pairing and positioning.
Trained where the playbook was written
GE Capital wrote the playbook for modern credit strategy; Deutsche Bank financed it. Our founders trained inside both and built an over $5 billion-a-year origination and acquisition business together at Waterfall Asset Management.
Cross-cycle credit
Our strategy is to pair capital-heavy lending with capital-light, government-licensed businesses. The mix is intended to help us navigate any economic cycle rather than rely on a single strategy that works (until it doesn't).
Main Street business, Wall Street toolkit
We focus on the fragmented lower and middle market space, a segment typically underserved by the bigger institutional players. We pair the Main Street relationships with the Wall Street toolkit needed to compete.
