We serve a globally diverse base of investors, including pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, insurance companies, consultants, foundations, endowments and high-net-worth individuals.
We deeply value our investor partnerships and continue to evolve our platform to meet the needs of LPs, providing a variety of investment solutions as well as partnering on bespoke solutions. We place the highest importance on the client experience and on ensuring transparency.
Mission & Values
Our mission is to serve our investors by seeking to deliver superior risk-adjusted returns.
Värde’s core values of integrity, excellence, collegiality, innovation and humility underpin all that we do.
We are anchored in these principles, holding ourselves to high standards, unlocking complexity with an entrepreneurial approach, being intellectually honest, demonstrating ambition without arrogance and working as one team on behalf of our investors.
History
Värde’s founders, George Hicks, Marcia Page and Greg McMillan, were pioneers in the nascent years of the alternatives industry. They cultivated a shared set of values over 30 years ago that served as the genesis of our strong culture today. Through our next generation of leaders, we are proud to carry on the core mission and values on which Värde was founded.
Värde’s early focus was on distressed credit and asset investing. These roots have served us well as we’ve expanded our focus into more performing credit asset classes, with a keen focus on downside protection as we assess risk and invest capital.
Integrated platform.
Flexible approach.
Our platform is built to invest through economic cycles and capitalize on evolving market dynamics.
As a firm that is 100% Partner-owned, we maintain full alignment with our investors’ interests. The extensive tenure of our senior investing leaders, who have been working together for many years, and our one-team approach allow us to maximize the potential of our platform.
Local knowledge.
Global perspective.
With experienced, Partner-led teams on the ground in Europe for over 20 years and in Asia for over 16 years, our longevity in these markets serves as a differentiator in sourcing investment opportunities.
