Stone Point Credit Adviser

Stone Point Credit Adviser is a separate investment platform operating under the Stone Point umbrella, specifically focused on private credit. It shares the same Greenwich headquarters and benefits from Stone Point Capital's three decades of financial-services industry relationships, but it pursues a creditor strategy distinct from the parent firm's private equity and public equities strategies.

No. While the firm has a natural pipeline into debt opportunities involving Stone Point Capital's equity investments, it also originates and underwrites loans to financial services companies backed by other private equity sponsors, independent firms, and founder-owned businesses across North America.

The firm provides senior secured loans, unitranche facilities, and subordinated debt. Transactions are floating-rate structures, and the firm frequently negotiates equity co-investment rights or warrant participation as part of its credit packages, reflecting an approach that blurs the line between pure credit and minority equity exposure.

The platform targets the same industries as Stone Point Capital's private equity strategy: insurance brokerage, claims administration, managing general agents, specialty finance, asset management, wealth management, and related business services. These subsectors feature recurring revenue models, regulatory moats, and asset-light balance sheets that align with the firm's credit underwriting standards.

Publicly available information indicates the firm's credit activities are concentrated in North America, consistent with Stone Point Capital's historical geographic focus. No European, Asian, or other non-North American credit investments have been disclosed.

Stephen E. O'Leary serves as a Managing Director and Portfolio Manager of the credit platform. He and the investment team bring experience from Stone Point Capital's partnership as well as external backgrounds at direct lending institutions and insurance investment offices, though a full team roster is not publicly disclosed.

In July 2022, the firm registered Stone Point Credit BDC, a non-traded business development company designed to offer individual accredited investors access to its direct lending strategy. This permanent capital vehicle marks an expansion beyond the institutional fund structures that have historically served Stone Point's limited partners.
