We are a grassroots arts organization rooted in the Chicano/a/x mural legacy, creating, preserving, and sharing community murals as living expressions of memory and belonging. Murals carry our stories, connect us, and celebrate who we are.

Our investment strategy encompasses a wide range of credit-related opportunities, including senior loans, high-yield bonds, multi-asset credit, structured credit, direct lending, and opportunistic credit investments. We have a particular focus on sectors where we can leverage our deep industry knowledge and operational expertise to create value.

Our evaluation process is comprehensive and multi-dimensional. We begin with extensive sourcing through our robust network, followed by in-depth fundamental analysis. Our team combines quantitative financial modeling with qualitative assessments of management teams, industry trends, and potential operational improvements. We look beyond simple financial metrics to understand the full potential of an investment, considering factors like strategic positioning, market dynamics, and potential for value creation.
