NEW YORK, March 5, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Investcorp, a leading global provider and manager of alternative investment products, today announced that one of the alternative managers within its Hedge Fund Partnership platform, Nut Tree Capital Management, LP ("Nut Tree"), has reached $1 billion in assets under management. Investcorp first announced its strategic relationship with Nut Tree in late 2015.

"We congratulate the talented team at Nut Tree for achieving this notable milestone," said Lionel Erdely, Head and Chief Investment Officer, Absolute Return Investments at Investcorp. "From the first day we met Jed and his team back in 2015, we have been confident in the firm's holistic approach across the capital structure, focus on fundamental research and portfolio construction, and deep experience in managing portfolios and teams."

Based in New York, Nut Tree is an opportunistic alternative credit investment manager that launched in February 2016 with $100 million in assets under management, anchored by strategic capital from Investcorp. It is led by Founding Partner and Chief Investment Officer Jed Nussbaum who was previously a partner at Redwood Capital, a distressed credit manager. Jed has over 18 years of experience as an investor in the alternative credit markets.
