Investment Strategy and Process

"Kawa Capital Management's flagship multi-strategy credit fund targets high-single to low-double digit net returns by investing in harder-to-source, low-competition credit opportunities with historically low correlation to traditional benchmarks. To execute this, Kawa employs a disciplined, five-stage investment process that filters out the majority of researched ideas to focus capital on high-conviction, bespoke transactions. This asset-backed approach is supported by a robust risk management framework, high portfolio liquidity, and independent institutional-grade operational infrastructure."

Key Claims
  • Focuses on harder-to-source, limited-competition credit opportunities (esoteric ABS, single-asset financing) utilizing a disciplined five-stage sourcing and fundamental analysis process.
  • Demonstrates historically low correlation to mainstream indices since its 2007 inception, showing a 0.22 correlation to the S&P 500 and 0.05 to the Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index.
  • Maintains a highly liquid portfolio profile with 59.38% of NAV in Level 1 assets and a substantial average cash balance of 30% since inception to preserve dry powder.
  • Implements a strict risk mitigation framework, including a 4% intra-month drawdown trigger and a requirement for joint Portfolio Manager approval on all positions.
  • Supported by an independent valuation and pricing structure involving SS&C GlobeOp and Grant Thornton, resulting in zero material NAV restatements since inception.
