Penn Capital is a boutique, SEC registered investment management firm that specializes in the leveraged finance market – the credit and equity of non-investment grade companies.

Penn Capital distinctly integrates credit and equity research with a Complete Capital Structure Analysis®. We believe this approach offers an advantage in the identification of mispriced securities, capital structure catalysts and risk mitigation. We offer clients access to investment strategies through public mutual funds and custom managed accounts.
