Leontis Capital
Independent advisory for alternative asset managers
When we commit to a mandate, our LP network takes the call. That credibility is built on one discipline: we say no more than we say yes.
Leontis places capital for a small number of alternative asset managers each year, across private credit, secondaries, and special situations. Our selectivity is structural, not aspirational: fewer mandates means each one receives the network access and attention it deserves.
We work with GPs whose strategy, track record, and LP fit meet our internal threshold, the same threshold our institutional relationships hold us to. Our commitments are unconditional once made. Our process is strictly confidential.
The private credit market has moved past early-mover advantage. The edge today belongs to managers with differentiated sourcing and disciplined underwriting. We represent credit managers who have built both.
GP-led volume has fundamentally changed how LPs think about liquidity. We work with managers structuring continuation vehicles and portfolio liquidity solutions, and with the LPs who need to make sense of them.
The best returns in complex capital situations go to managers who arrived before the consensus formed. We represent funds in distressed debt, NPL portfolios, and event-driven mandates where structural complexity is the advantage, not the obstacle.
Every engagement begins with an introduction from within our existing network. We do not accept unsolicited mandates, not as a bureaucratic gate, but because the mechanism that keeps our LP relationships intact is the same one that makes your introduction worth something.
We apply the same review to a potential mandate that a serious LP would. Strategy, track record, team tenure, terms, and LP fit. If we would not take your meeting ourselves, we will not make your introduction.
Outreach goes to a specific subset of our LP network, selected by mandate fit, not list size. There are no broad distributions. LPs receive a qualified introduction, or they receive nothing.
We stay in the room through subscription, documentation, and final close. Our engagement does not end at the first meeting and it does not end at first close. It ends when the fund is closed.
We represent a small number of mandates each year. By introduction from within the institutional network.
