Experienced, market-tested leadership team brings data-driven analytics and rules-based decision making to the U.S. leveraged loan market.
Mountain Point Credit Management LLC has officially launched its U.S. broadly syndicated loan investment platform, marking a major milestone as the firm enters the market with over $1.3 billion in assets under management. The initiative is led by Founder and CEO Kelly Byrne, a seasoned credit-market expert with nearly twenty years of experience and a long tenure as Senior Portfolio Manager and Head of Capital Markets at Voya Investment Management. Under Byrne’s leadership, Mountain Point is bringing a fresh, data-driven vision to the loan-investing landscape.

While many loan managers depend on analyst-driven research that covers only a narrow portion of the market, Mountain Point is taking a dramatically different approach. The firm uses a proprietary, data-powered strategy that evaluates the full breadth of the U.S. broadly syndicated loan market. This gives Mountain Point visibility into three times more borrowers than the industry average and provides deep insights into over 1,000 issuers. With this expanded view, the firm has crafted a rules-based, highly diversified investment process designed to optimize exposure across the entire loan universe.

For Byrne, the goal is simple: open up the loan market with tools and transparency that help investors access a resilient asset class more effectively.
