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.
