Warwick Capital Partners

Co-founders Ian Burgess and Alfredo Mattera lead investment decisions. Burgess previously opened Silver Point Capital's London office and ran its European investments for a decade before launching Warwick; Mattera's background includes senior European leveraged finance and restructuring roles. The firm's governance centers on the two partners, who jointly oversee deal origination, underwriting, and portfolio management, per public record.

Warwick Capital targets complex situations, distressed and stressed credit, special-opportunity lending, public-to-private transactions, and corporate restructurings. The firm invests across the capital structure, from senior secured loans through mezzanine debt to structured equity, concentrating on Western and Southern European mid-market companies in need of rescue financing, refinancing, or operational turnaround support.

Warwick Capital executes direct deals — not fund-of-funds allocations. The firm originates, underwrites, and structures its own transactions in European stressed and distressed credit, opportunistic lending, and non-performing loan acquisitions. It has historically raised commingled funds and separately managed accounts to deploy into these direct positions.

The firm sources through a combination of European banking relationships, insolvency practitioner networks, corporate advisors, and the proprietary contacts its founders developed during their restructuring careers at institutions including Silver Point Capital. Its London-based position and event-driven focus mean deal flow tends to concentrate around stressed borrowers, debt sales by European financial institutions, and companies navigating in-court or out-of-court restructurings.

Warwick Capital is structured as a third-party asset manager, not a family office. It manages commingled funds and separate accounts on behalf of institutional investors. In May 2024, the firm was reported to be exploring a potential minority-stake sale to outside investors, consistent with an independent asset management structure seeking institutionalization, per Bloomberg.

The firm concentrates on Europe, with known deal activity in the United Kingdom, Italy, and Spain. Its investment mandate is pan-European but weighted toward Western and Southern European jurisdictions where corporate restructuring frameworks and bank deleveraging cycles have historically generated complex-situation opportunities.

No. Warwick Capital does not publicly disclose assets under management, and no current regulatory filing provides a confirmed figure. The firm maintains a private posture on its capital base, consistent with several European special-situations managers of similar vintage.
