Thesis

Olympus Peak Asset Management LP (OPAM) is a New York-based investment firm founded in 2017, specializing in credit and event-driven opportunities, with a strong focus on distressed and special-situations investing. The firm's investment thesis centers on generating superior long-term risk-adjusted returns through capital preservation and investing in assets with a favorable risk/reward profile. OPAM's strategy spans corporate, structured, financial, and sovereign stressed and distressed investments, actively seeking out inefficient markets with limited competition and "uneconomic sellers." A key differentiator is their concentrated focus on the intersection of distressed credit and litigation finance, requiring specialized legal-claims analysis alongside traditional credit underwriting. They evaluate recovery waterfalls and intercreditor disputes that generalist funds may avoid. OPAM employs deep fundamental research into distressed balance sheets, legal recoveries, and post-reorganization securities, participating in Chapter 11 creditor committees and purchasing bankruptcy claims, such as those in the Celsius Network bankruptcy. Their investment philosophy emphasizes maximizing upside potential while carefully managing downside risk through rigorous analysis and opportunistic positioning, with a focus on capital preservation and a "margin of safety." The approach is dynamic and flexible, rotating assets at inflection points for both long and short investments. While headquartered in the United States, their geographic scope is not explicitly defined. OPAM operates as a private investment partnership, utilizing a commingled fund structure and separately managed accounts for institutional investors. As of February 5, 2026, AUM was reported at $702,035,622. The firm manages multiple funds, including Flagship Funds, Trade Claims Funds, and OPCP Funds.
