About Us
Evolution Credit Partners is a Boston-based alternative credit manager with approximately $3.8 billion in assets under management, founded by a team that spun out of the Harvard Management Company in 2018. The firm operates at the intersection of leveraged finance and working capital finance — two credit strategies that serve different but complementary client needs.
Evolution's senior investment team brings a combined 100+ years of global credit market experience, with individual team members averaging over 30 years in disciplines spanning private lending, working capital finance, high-yield securities, leveraged loans, credit derivatives, and distressed investing.
Evolution's Credit Strategies
Leveraged Finance — Provides direct lending and acquisition financing to sponsor-backed and non-sponsor companies globally. Covers the full capital structure from first lien through subordinated debt, with a focus on customized, flexible solutions where traditional bank financing falls short.
Working Capital Finance — A differentiated strategy providing short-term liquidity financing tied to trade receivables, supply chain, and operational cash flow needs. This strategy is less correlated to credit cycles than traditional leveraged lending.
