Corton is a Luxembourg-based private office investing in opportunistic special situations & disciplined co-investment with capital partners in asset-backed and downside protected strategies. The firm focuses on capital preservation through senior debt and preferred equity. Our approach combines high-security lending, disciplined co-investment alongside established managers, and selective opportunities in distressed credit. We prioritise capital preservation through multiple layers of security—from real asset collateral and preferred equity positions to fee income from co-investment and GP seed stakes. As a nimble private office, we can access non-balance sheet security such as UBO cross-collateralisation that institutional investors often cannot achieve due to mandate limitations—delivering resilient, diversified exposure with genuine downside protection.
