Credit investment major Silver Point Capital Silver Point Capital closed a $4.6 billion opportunistic credit fund, exceeding its target of $4 billion.

According to a media release from the Greenwich, Connecticut-based hedge fund that focuses on credit and special situations investments, the fund, more than double the size of a predecessor vehicle, is focused on investing in global market dislocations including traded credit and restructuring, the statement said.

"With a longer-locked, drawdown structure, the Fund will invest in cyclically-driven market dislocations, including traded credit and restructuring and process-oriented investments. It has a global and opportunistic mandate extending across geographies, market capitalizations, capital structures, and industries," the release said.

The Fund benefits from Silver Point's successful, 22-year track record of investing across multiple credit cycles, as well as the firm's deep, integrated team of more than 320 investment and infrastructure employees, it added.
