Descriptiontext

Redwood Capital Management, LLC is a private alternative investment manager founded in 2000 and headquartered in New York, with a secondary office in Sunny Isles Beach, Florida. The firm manages more than $10 billion in assets through investment vehicles focused on opportunistic credit and special situation investments across a broad range of industries and geographies.

The firm's core activity is sourcing distressed and illiquid credit opportunities, typically by establishing itself as a creditor or noteholder in complex corporate restructuring situations. Unlike distressed funds that deploy capital only during market dislocations, Redwood pursues a continuous deployment strategy targeting investments with extended time horizons. The firm has executed multiple debt-for-equity swaps, most recently acquiring control positions in At Home Group (October 2025, ~$2 billion debt eliminated), Klöckner Pentaplast (January 2026, €1.3 billion debt eliminated), and Office Properties Income Trust (March 2026, $700 million debt reduction). It also deploys capital in sovereign distressed credit, posting approximately $129 million in gains on Argentina positions in October 2025.

Redwood generates revenue through management fees on assets under management and performance fees (carried interest) on investment returns. Its customer base consists of institutional investors seeking exposure to distressed debt and special situation opportunities. In April 2026 the firm announced plans to raise approximately $1 billion for a new illiquid credit fund, signaling continued capital base expansion. The firm maintains co-investment partnerships with other alternative managers including Farallon Capital, Anchorage Capital Advisors, Helix Partners, and Whitebox Advisors.
