Flexible and creative capital provider

At Allstate Investments, we understand that capital needs don’t always fit in a clear category and in some cases traditional capital markets can be difficult to access. Our mandate is to invest flexible capital opportunistically across asset classes and industries. We concentrate on opportunities that exist due to pockets of inefficiency based on a number of factors or events, including:

Dislocated, volatile or nascent capital market conditions
Changing regulatory frameworks
Misunderstood or complex fact patterns or circumstances
Transitory situations

Our team draws from diverse professional backgrounds, including alternative investing, investment banking, restructuring advisory and management consulting, providing complementary skill sets to underwrite complex or non-traditional situations. We leverage the significant resources and deep sector knowledge within our global investment platform to:

Inform our underwriting
Identify attractive themes
Develop unique perspectives

While we adapt investment themes as market dynamics change, we view investment opportunities through a long-term lens. Our typical investment size ranges from $25 million to $100 million, and we can execute through both the primary and secondary markets. Our effort is organized around two strategies:

Non-traditional capital solutions
