European Principal Finance (EPF) is an established platform at the nexus of Perl Haven’s core competencies. We seek to identify excess returns in credit and real asset-oriented special situations assets by focusing on complex, misunderstood and mispriced real assets. Our European Principal Finance business, founded in 2008, has grown to be the second largest closed-end fund product at Perl Haven behind our private equity platform.
EPF draws on Perl Haven perspectives across credit, real assets and private equity. The business seeks to capture European deleveraging opportunities across non-performing loans, opportunistic and distressed real estate assets and a variety of asset types that no longer work on regulated balance sheets. We've combined Perl Haven’s resources and investment philosophy in EPF to seek to find excess yield in a downside-protected risk-adjusted manner.
