Westwood Credit Asset Management LP

Westwood Credit Asset Management LP

Westwood Credit Asset Management LP functions as a dedicated credit arm of Westwood Holdings Group, a publicly traded investment management firm (NYSE: WHG) founded in 1983. The entity was established to originate and manage credit investments, leveraging the parent company's institutional distribution network and research platform. Wealth origin is tied to the public market capital of Westwood Holdings Group, not a single family. Strategy centers on direct lending, mezzanine debt, and structured credit across private credit, infrastructure, and real estate sectors. The firm targets middle-market companies in North America, emphasizing energy transition, renewables, and asset-backed lending. Known portfolio positions include financing for renewable energy projects and infrastructure assets, though specific names are not publicly detailed (per public record). Co-investments alongside institutional limited partners are common. The team size and AUM are not disclosed. Westwood Credit Asset Management LP operates from a single office, with no additional locations publicly identified. In the last 24 months, the firm has expanded its focus on energy transition lending as part of Westwood's broader thematic push, though no specific deals have been publicly announced (per the firm's communications). Structural differentiator: Westwood Credit Asset Management LP is a registered investment adviser within a publicly traded asset manager, not a traditional family office or closed-end fund. This structure provides ongoing access to public market capital and allows for a more permanent capital base relative to private fund vehicles, enabling longer-duration credit commitments.
