Private Debt
Dancap allocates between 10% to 20% of its overall portfolio to Private Debt investments through third party funds, co-investments and direct investments.
The Dancap Family Investment Office has a long history of investing in various types of Private Debt funds and vehicles.
We look to partner with managers that have the ability and experience to invest in stable, operating companies or assets across all parts of the credit cycle. Our Private Debt funds focus on many strategies including: senior-secured sponsored-backed lending, private lending, first and second mortgages on real-estate backed assets and developments and second lien/ mezzanine loans. Generally speaking, we don’t invest in first-time or second-time funds and wait until there is a verifiable track record with a history of exited investments.
Dancap seeks to invest in both open-ended and closed-end funds, as well as a direct-by-deal basis. We prefer that our Private Debt investments contain stable monthly incomes or quarterly income distributions. We believe barriers to entry in the second lien and mezzanine markets should create an attractive illiquidity premium for investors. In our fixed income portfolio, we seek investments with a minimum 10% net IRR for senior secured lending and 15% plus for second lien or mezzanine loans.
Dancap seeks to invest with active managers that have verifiable track records and demonstrated success across various market cycles. Their success should also be reflected in their ability to acquire, manage and exit investments relative to their peers. We partner with managers that have demonstrated best practices in all facets of their management. Dancap expects to pay market competitive management fees and expects complete transparent information from managers such that we can conduct our comprehensive diligence and monitor results.
