Obra has a diverse and experienced leadership team well-versed in crafting capital solutions across different asset classes. We have long-standing working relationships among our teams and our investors.

We offer customized investing opportunities through diversified strategies in four verticals:

 

Our Approach

We engage with our investors to customize opportunities and capital solutions that fit their mandates and risk profiles.  We seek maximum return per unit of risk, measuring assets vs. liabilities and embedding structural protections in documentation to mitigate downside risk and protect principal.  

We operate in less crowded and nuanced areas of the market which require our high level of expertise, flexibility and focus.

 
  • Multiple dedicated sourcing teams across specialty finance and insurance markets with hundreds of relationships with market participants and intermediaries.

  • In-house proprietary underwriting capabilities including fundamental and algorithmic approaches that analyze portfolio outcomes across a range of scenarios.

  • Senior leadership team with decades of combined experience in various alternative investments and insurance-linked strategies, backed by a proven track record in asset management.

  • Our investment process focuses on relative value across risk in various forms and capital structures to deliver asymmetric returns via underwriting and active involvement in structuring.

  • Investment opportunities are analyzed by combining a fundamental bottom-up approach with a focus on structural enhancements and regulatory awareness.

  • Vertically integrated in-house investment servicing team provides internal resources to monitor each investment from acquisition to realization and gives an additional benefit in the form of proprietary information.

  • Institutional quality that facilitates, supports, and enhances the investing capabilities and execution of strategies.
