CORDET tailors private debt and direct lending solutions for mid-market companies with a stable record of cash flow. It makes select-few investments per year, taking the time to thoroughly vet prospects and establish longstanding relationships with all stakeholders. CORDET targets companies with annual revenue under €250m and EBITDA between €2m and €15m. It only invests in sectors where it has demonstrated all-weather experience across credit cycles. CORDET’s lending activity fills a gap in the market — and offers attractive risk-adjusted core income-focused returns for institutional investors. CORDET has assembled a team of finance, risk and investment specialists to collaborate with investors and company executives to nurture mutual growth. People-centric policies drive internal development and external engagement. CORDET operates according to Nordic standards and has been cited as a best-in-class employer with indiscriminatory benefits, including generous parental leave. CORDET aligns decision-making with the Principles for Responsible Investment, Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures and Paris Agreement — and receives top ESG marks from external ratings agencies. It celebrates the sustainability progress made by portfolio companies, like automotive supplier FLABEG transitioning to renewable energies or Trust Payment seeking B-Corp certification and pushing for equality with a 42-percent-female workforce. The CFI.co jury points to CORDET’s reliable past performance, particularly throughout the pandemic, combined with a growing pipeline of partners as justification for claiming the Best Alternative Credit Investor (UK) award — for the third consecutive year in 2022.</p>",
