About Lakemore

We invest in the
equity of discipline.

Lakemore Partners is a global structured credit firm focused on super-majority control equity positions in broadly syndicated U.S. CLOs.

Established in 2016, Lakemore serves institutional investors from offices in Phoenix and Dubai. Our methodical, defensive strategy is led by a team with longstanding experience across every layer of the CLO asset class — equity, debt, and collateral management.

We invest our own capital alongside our clients, aligning our incentives with the long-term performance objectives of every partner we serve.

Our Approach

Three avenues to navigate
the asset class.

Our methodical, cycle-aligned strategy is delivered through three distinct strategies, each designed to meet different investor objectives.

I.

Aquatine Platform

Our flagship series of closed-end commingled funds investing in super-majority control equity positions of new-issue U.S. CLOs. Purpose-built for institutional investors seeking diversified, multi-manager, multi-vintage exposure to the asset class through a disciplined, cycle-aligned buy-and-hold strategy.

Closed-end · Diversified
II.

Lakemore Credit Opportunities Fund

An open-end strategy providing flexible exposure to CLO warehouses and structured credit across the capital stack. Designed for investors seeking all-weather performance, measured liquidity, and participation in opportunistic market dislocations.

Open-end · Opportunistic
III.

Bespoke Solutions

Customized separately managed accounts and co-investment structures tailored to the specific portfolio construction, risk, and reporting requirements of strategic institutional partners. Fully aligned with your mandate.
