Mountain Point Credit Launches Systematic Loan Investment Platform with $1.3B of AUM

Experienced, market-tested leadership team brings data-driven analytics and rules-based decision making to the U.S. leveraged loan market.

Mountain Point Credit Management LLC (“Mountain Point”), a systematic loan manager, today announced its U.S. broadly syndicated loan investment platform with over $1.3 billion in assets under management. The firm is led by Founder and CEO Kelly Byrne, an industry veteran with two decades of experience in the credit markets, who was previously a Senior Portfolio Manager and Head of Capital Markets at Voya Investment Management.

While traditional loan managers rely on analyst-driven research that captures a narrow slice of the market, Mountain Point is redefining the landscape with a data-driven approach that evaluates the entire U.S. broadly syndicated loan market. With visibility into three times more borrowers than the industry average, Mountain Point’s proprietary strategy provides unparalleled insight into more than 1,000 issuers – this approach enables a more diversified, rules-based investment strategy across the U.S. broadly syndicated loan market.

“With a differentiated platform rooted in a systematic and disciplined process, Mountain Point is pioneering a new era in loan investing,” said Kelly Byrne, Founder and CEO of Mountain Point. “We’re proud to offer investors efficient, information-driven access to a resilient asset class by delivering a level of diversification and optimization previously out of reach in the loan market.”

At Mountain Point, Byrne is joined by Tim Maloney, Head of Loan Trading, who previously launched and led Citigroup’s CLO optimization business. Phil Li serves as the CFO and COO, after previously holding the same positions at Marble Point Credit Management. Steve Rubich, former Chief Information Officer at Contrarian Capital Management, leads the firm’s technology infrastructure as the CTO. Complementing its seasoned leadership, Mountain Point is powered by a team of senior investment professionals and fintech experts in credit analytics, data engineering, and loan trading, bringing decades of market experience and a meticulous focus on innovation and precision to every aspect of the platform. Additionally, more than half of Mountain Point’s research-focused team are data scientists, reflecting its commitment to analytical rigor and operational precision in loan investing.
