CION Investments ("CION"), a leading manager of alternative investment solutions for individual investors, reports that the CION Ares Diversified Credit Fund ("CADC" or the "Fund") has reached the $2 billion mark in total managed assets after strong inflows of approximately $290 million in the third quarter.
Mark Gatto, co-CEO of CION Ares Management, LLC, the Fund's advisor, commented, "We think that the recent strength of private credit bolsters a growing conviction that income alternatives have a place as a permanent part of an investor portfolio. Incorporating private credit into a traditional 60/40 allocation can potentially increase diversification and help investors reach their long-term goals."
CADC creates a diversified portfolio by combining directly originated illiquid credits and liquid investments to seek superior risk-adjusted returns in a continuously offered interval fund structure. The Fund employs a dynamic asset allocation framework that enables the advisor to respond to changing market environments with both aggressive and defensive strategies.
Mark continued, "CADC's unique strategy of bringing assets from across the credit spectrum together in one dynamically allocated investment has the potential to deliver enhanced yield and diversification benefits. The inflows this year increased dramatically each quarter, delivering record numbers. Our extensive distribution network, from RIAs to wirehouses and IBDs, is focused on the demands of the individual investor to create truly modern portfolios that can compete in a rapidly evolving environment."
