Partner Solutions Intern - Hayfin Capital Management

Hayfin Capital Management

Hayfin was founded in 2009 with the ambition of creating one of Europe’s leading investment platforms. We focus on delivering best-in-class risk-adjusted returns for our investors across our strategies: Direct Lending, Special Opportunities and High-Yield Credit.

We consider ourselves value investors, generating differentiated return through hard work, insightful analysis, and disciplined investing. Hayfin seeks to recruit and retain exceptionally talented professionals. We believe in being local in each of our markets, and that our diverse mix of nationalities, cultures and languages makes us more connected to these markets.

Most of our team are industry generalists, with our edge lying in our origination networks and proven expertise in managing complex restructurings, workouts, and liquidations. That said, we employ dedicated, specialist teams in the areas of healthcare (life sciences), shipping (maritime) and real estate, where we believe our focused expertise provides an advantage.

We operate across all major European geographies with headquarters in London, and ten offices globally including in Frankfurt, Madrid, Milan, Paris, Singapore, and New York.
