Generating income and growing your capital

CVC Credit Partners European Opportunities Limited ("CCPEOL" or the "Company") is an investment fund that aims to provide shareholders with income and potential for capital upside by focusing on European performing credit as well as select opportunistic credit investments.

A part of the CVC Credit Platform, the CVC Credit Partners Investment Management Limited (the "Investment Vehicle Manager") has a strong track record in investing in these asset classes which provides CCPEOL's investors with stability and inflation protection. The key features of CCPEOL is its ability to provide attractive, risk-adjusted returns which includes a reliable income stream that allows the fund to enhance and preserve capital.

What we offer

Reliable income

We seek to generate high cash income via a stable and attractive dividend, as well as offer the potential for capital appreciation. CCPEOL distributes quarterly dividends to shareholders based on a target of 5p / 5c per GBP and EUR share respectively per annum.

Strong track record

CCPEOL has a proven, long-term track record and has typically outperformed during periods of market volatility. Since the strategy's inception in 2009 and the subsequent listing in 2013, we have achieved a net total return of 9.17%1 per annum.

Liquidity

In addition to the daily liquidity offered by the market, we offer investors liquidity via a quarterly tender mechanism that allows redemptions at NAV less 1p / 1c per GBP/ EUR share respectively.

Inflation protection

We mainly invest in loans, which are typically floating rate instruments, which allows CCPEOL to act as a hedge against inflation risk.We believe now more than ever, that it's the better place to be, due to heightened inflation risk and growing expectations of rising central bank interest rates.
