Sound Point Capital Management and Skypoint Capital Advisors have launched the Sound Point Alternative Income Fund, a multi-asset credit interval fund providing individual investors access to private and alternative credit strategies. The fund will primarily invest in core middle market direct lending, complemented by private asset-based capital solutions and speciality finance, with flexibility to allocate to liquid credit opportunistically. It draws from Sound Point's $45 billion integrated credit platform. SAFTX will be managed by Sound Point's investment team, including Tom Newberry, Chief Credit Officer and Executive Chairman of Direct Lending, Gunther Stein, Head and CIO of US Performing Credit, and Jane Lawrence, US CLO and Senior Floating Rate Portfolio Manager. The fund aims to generate current income with attractive risk-adjusted returns whilst maintaining selectivity and loss avoidance principles.
