Cross Ocean Partners Management LP (“Cross Ocean”), a Delaware limited partnership, was formed
in 2016 and is located in Greenwich, Connecticut. Cross Ocean provides investment management
services on a discretionary basis to privately offered investment funds (each, a “Fund” and
collectively, the “Funds”) and managed accounts (“Accounts” and together with the Funds,
“Clients”). Affiliates of Cross Ocean serve as general partners of the Funds (each, a “General
Partner”). Cross Ocean sub-advises certain of the Funds.
Cross Ocean’s investment management services primarily relate to investments in a broad range of
credit and hard asset classes, including corporate loans and bonds, liquidations, structured credit,
commercial real estate and aviation. With respect to certain Clients, Cross Ocean’s strategy will focus
primarily on the “stressed” and “distressed” debt obligations of issuers having a substantive nexus to
the United States, although the Clients may opportunistically invest a limited portion of their capital
outside the United States. Additionally, certain other Clients’ strategies will focus on stressed and
distressed debt obligations of issuers having a substantive nexus to the United States or Europe, and
such Clients may opportunistically invest their capital outside of such jurisdictions, and certain of
such Clients focus on short term credit market dislocations. The strategy of certain Accounts focuses
primarily on stressed and distressed debt obligations of U.S. energy companies, while certain other
Accounts’ strategy focuses primarily on rated debt obligations of issuers having a substantive nexus
to the United States. Certain Funds Cross Ocean manages focus principally on aviation related
investments globally, in particular acquiring commercial aircraft and engines. Although Cross Ocean
does not currently do so, Cross Ocean’s investment management or advisory services may relate to
other types of investments and asset classes in the future.
Cross Ocean provides investment advice to each Client in accordance with the strategy and
investment restrictions applicable to that Client as outlined in the applicable investment advisory
agreement or offering document for that Client. Investment advice is provided directly to the Clients
or, with respect to sub-advised Funds, the Fund’s investment manager, according to the pertinent
Client’s investment objectives and not individually to the Client investors. The General Partner of a
Fund may establish an advisory committee
comprised of representatives of selected Fund investors
(each, an “L.P. Advisory Committee”). Cross Ocean in the future may also serve as sub-adviser to
certain Clients.
The principal owners of Cross Ocean are GG Managers LLC, which is wholly owned by Graham
Goldsmith, the Chief Executive Officer of Cross Ocean, and various funds managed by Stone Point
Capital LLC.
Cross Ocean had $ 3,783,276,393 in regulatory assets under management, of which $ 3,783,276,393
is discretionary and $0 is non-discretionary. Information with respect to the amount of assets under
management is generally provided as of December 31, 2023.
