Turning Rock Partners

350 Madison Avenue, Floor 21, New York, NY, 10017, United States

Overview

Turning Rock seeks to make long-term investments in debt and equity securities of North American small and mid-capitalization businesses. The Firm believes there is a growing supply of illiquid assets for sale in the market driven by a challenging macroeconomic environment, ongoing volatility, global bank deleveraging, and increased complexity. The investment strategy seeks to fill the void that has been created by the current regulatory environment as banks have stepped away from acquiring and lending against more illiquid types of assets.
