About

Axar Capital Management is an opportunistic corporate credit investor focused on the U.S. middle market

  • Founded in 2015 by Andrew Axelrod and Timothy Parrott, Axar Capital Management invests in a concentrated number of public and private market situations that larger competitors are less likely to pursue due to size, complexity, duration and potential need for active involvement
  • Headquartered in New York City, we focus on North American middle market opportunities across the capital structure and often look to establish control positions over time

Differentiated Ideas

Focus on North American middle market situations that larger competitors are unlikely to pursue

Ability to invest in opportunities with expected duration of 3-5 years

Differentiated Process

Often initiate positions through secondary market debt investments and add to positions over time, particularly during and before Chapter 11

Seek to significantly influence or control most of our core investments and serve directly on creditor committees and company boards

Differentiated Results

Portfolio that is highly concentrated in our best ideas and has little overlap with other funds

Idiosyncratic returns driven by company-specific catalysts, not market beta
