CHRYSALIS CAPITAL
'Chrysalis' is derived from the greek word 'Chrysos' for gold and describes the
cocoon-like stage of development that a butterfly goes through before emerging and
bursting into flight.
Chrysalis Capital was founded in July 2008 as a niche Investment house that will
operate in alternative investment markets. Our current focus is the private sector
credit market, which we believe presents significant opportunities for liquidity
providers outside of the banking environment. Our competitive advantage is speed,
savvy and the ability to provide mezzanine finance in various sectors. Whereas we
have an open-minded approach to risk, our preference is to fund companies that will
thrive or be resilient in the prevailing economic environment.
Chrysalis uses its experience base in this area to pass the disproportionate returns
available in a structurally inefficient environment onto its investors, whilst at
the same time playing an important role as liquidity provider in the economy. The
business and investment case is compelling in an environment where credit has dried
up and demand for liquidity is high. As such, Chrysalis Capital is poised to burst
into flight.
Our objectives are to generate stable and positive returns in excess of what cash
offers, and to ensure that the correlation of our returns to equity and bond markets
remain negligible.
