Investment Strategies

Small-Balance Commercial Loan Strategy

Community-bank pullbacks and rate resets have created a ~US$700 billion SBC market opportunity—up from US$588 billion in 2012—with 25% of loans trading 300 bps or more wide, and origination down approximately 40% since 2020.

Eden’s SBC playbook:

Legacy Acquisitions: Buying performing to non-performing US$5–20 M first-lien loans at 70–85¢ on the dollar
Direct Origination: Partnering with regional lenders & fintechs, then securitizing into custom ABS conduits
Yield & Risk: Targeting 8–11% net cash yields (floating-rate), hedged with rate caps & credit overlays
Cross-Border Sourcing: Chicago & Toronto teams collaborating on Ontario office, Alberta retail, and U.S. mixed-use assets

Scale: Acquired US$1 B+ of SBC assets since 2008; launched dedicated SBC ABS conduit in 2023 with 15+ bank partnerships.

High-Yield ABS Strategy

In today’s post-pandemic, rising-rate backdrop, the global ABS market is driven by fresh issuance and distressed dislocations. While core auto and credit-card conduits remain liquid, real alpha resides in esoteric corners—timeshares, small-lot CMBS, and reverse mortgages.

Eden’s approach:

Distressed Secondaries: Legacy RMBS, small-balance CMBS, and reverse-mortgage pools trading wide of par
New-Issue Partnerships: Equipment-finance, timeshare, and consumer-lending conduits sourced via specialty finance relationships
Whole-Loan Securitizations: Direct buys of loan portfolios, structured into bespoke ABS vehicles

CLO Strategy

We believe CLO equity has the potential to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns relative to other yield-oriented credit investments. Our investments in CLOs are comprised primarily of investments in the equity tranches and, to a lesser extent, the debt tranches of CLOs.

We focus on securitization vehicles that pool portfolios of U.S. senior secured loans.

Deep management team experience
Rigorous investment analysis and due diligence process
Adviser’s in-house CLO team
Competitive Strengths & Core Competencies
Extensive loan sourcing capabilities
Active involvement at the CLO structuring and formation stage
Taking stakes in CLO equity

We seek to construct a broad and varied portfolio of CLO securities, with diversification in:

The number of borrowers underlying each CLO.
The industry type of a CLO’s underlying borrowers.
The number and investment style of CLO collateral managers.
The CLO vintage period.
