"We are extremely grateful for the Fund's success in the marketplace and the relationships we have built with the Fund's investors" said JB Hayes, Variant Co-Founder and Principal. "The focus on niche alternative income producing assets has met a need in client portfolios."

The Fund has seen strong interest in the Registered Investment Advisors (RIA) market where the search for potential yield and stable returns has been of interest. The investment strategy helps provide a potential differentiation of credit exposure within traditional client portfolios.

"The growth of the Fund owes in part to the Fund's ability to invest in less trafficked areas of the credit market as well as allowing broader access to investors through the Fund's structure" said Curt Fintel, Variant Co-Founder and Principal. "The opportunity set continues to show strong potential for expanded growth in the Fund along with supporting the build out of the investment team with top tier hires."
