The UK-based firm provides promising smaller mid-cap companies with the capital and guidance to spark transformational growth. CORDET\u2019s financing solutions also offer attractive risk-adjusted returns for institutional investors. It targets Northern European companies with up to \u20ac20m in EBITDA and sectors where it has proven expertise, such as business services, technology, healthcare, financials, consumer, education and industrial. The team levers deep industry experience to pursue an \u201call-weather\u201d approach to investing. The firm is employee owned and interest aligned, as team members are also co-investors. The CORDET portfolio has delivered demonstratively positive performance over the past year, with solid results from both funds. There were 16 new transactions, including the firm\u2019s first investments in the <a href=\"https:\/\/cfi.co\/countries\/netherlands\/\">Netherlands<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/cfi.co\/countries\/austria\/\">Austria<\/a>. It continues to build on the strong momentum achieved in 2022 by focusing on talent recruitment and development. CORDET ranks are swelling, and women now make up a third of the team. All employees receive ongoing ESG training. The firm has tweaked some internal procedures and systems to ensure maximum efficiency and maintain a sharp competitive edge. It fortifies investor relations with comprehensive communication of current and relevant information. Testimonials from borrowers speak of the firm less as a lender and more as a long-term financing partner. The CFI.co judging panel presents repeat programme winner CORDET with the 2023 award for Best Alternative Credit Investor (<a href=\"https:\/\/cfi.co\/countries\/united-kingdom\/\">UK<\/a>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the past decade, CORDET has originated more than \u20ac55bn and deployed over \u20ac750m across two funds, 35 transactions and 15 companies.
