    The opportunity for outperformance in stressed and distressed credit

The Pender Credit Opportunities Fund is focused on deeply discounted stressed and distressed small and middle market public credit issuers.

We believe opportunities to outperform exist due to high capital scarcity, less competition from other capital providers and our ability to engage in proactive credit management.

We have consistently invested in stressed and distressed credits since 2015, with a specialized skill set and process that have proven resilient across a range of market environments.
