The Cerberus Team

Our NPL investment team consists of approximately 65 investment professionals.1 The team works across all stages of an investment’s life cycle, from sourcing and due diligence during the acquisition process, to monitoring of investments throughout the holding period and monetization process.

Cerberus’ senior investment professionals, with extensive knowledge and experience in NPLs and structured transactions, have established a vast network of sourcing relationships and strategic partnerships. These professionals have significant experience in multiple sectors through various market cycles, helping to establish Cerberus as a tenured investor in the NPL community.

 

Leaders in European NPL Investing

Cerberus has extensive experience in the global non-performing loan (“NPL”) space and has been among the largest buyers of NPLs in Europe from 2013 and through 2021.2 Since 1998, Cerberus has invested more than $28 billion in over 270 NPL transactions across 26 countries globally.1

In addition to our global investment team, Cerberus has established Cerberus European Servicing (“CES”), our proprietary in-house servicing platform which we believe provides a competitive edge to investing in, servicing, and monetizing European loans and asset portfolios.3 CES oversees and works closely with third-party servicers and operating partners to support our acquisitions and execute Cerberus’ underwritten business plans.

By utilizing both internal and external resources, Cerberus has been able to establish loan servicing practices with local and regional knowledge and experience. We believe our commitment to premier servicing has been a crucial component of our ability to be a trusted partner for many of Europe’s leading financial institutions.
