Founded in 2000, GoldenTree is one of the largest independent managers of fixed income credit funds, with assets under management of over $10 billion. Based in New York, with offices in London, Luxembourg, and Sao Paolo, GoldenTree provides investment services to institutions and high net worth individuals. GoldenTree is a fundamental value investor with an event driven, total return focus. GoldenTree believes that bottom-up research is the only way to exploit inefficiencies in high yield to identify credits that can provide both yield and capital appreciation. In order to efficiently execute our investment process, GoldenTree has established a strong, global franchise based on substantial infrastructure and significant local presence. Currently the firm has over 200 employees and 19 partners. The firm is entirely owned by its employees. The significant dislocation caused by the deleveraging and forced selling that began in July 2007 in credit has created an unprecedented environment in the credit markets. GoldenTree believes there are a number of ways to capture this opportunity. Despite the challenging economic outlook, an actively managed portfolio can yield substantial returns based on superior credit selection.

GoldenTree offers two distinct asset management styles to its investors - long/short and long only funds. Fund offerings differ based on use of leverage, shorting and target asset mix GoldenTree manages segregated accounts on behalf of large institutional investors.
