Crown Partners announced today that it served as exclusive financial advisor to Blackstone Credit & Insurance (“BXCI”) in the formation and launch of SablePointe Credit Strategies, a newly established platform focused on asset-based and first-out direct lending credit strategies.

James Garlick, President of SablePointe Credit Strategies, said, “Crown provided deep industry research, extensive support, and thoughtful leadership throughout the process. They are trusted advisors in every sense of the term.”

Crown Partners advises asset managers on investments in asset-based lending and related areas of commercial finance. The firm also advises financial sponsors on senior financings, refinancings, and restructurings for asset-heavy portfolio companies. Its senior team has worked together for two decades as principals and advisors.

Headquartered in Alpharetta, Georgia, SablePointe will support BXCI in sourcing, structuring, and managing senior secured asset-based and first-out credit facilities for corporate borrowers, drawing on the longstanding sponsor and intermediary relationships of the BXCI and SablePointe teams. The platform complements BXCI’s scale, capital, and global reach with specialized industry knowledge and structuring expertise.
