1WS
1WS Capital Advisors, LLC is a registered investment adviser and the retail-facing arm of One William Street Capital Management, L.P., a New York-based alternative investment firm founded in 2008. The broader One William Street platform was built by a team of former Lehman Brothers professionals with the goal of creating a leading alternative investment firm focused on asset-based and structured credit opportunities across North America and Europe. 1WS Capital Advisors manages the 1WS Credit Income Fund, a closed-end interval fund designed to offer investors access to the firm's institutional credit capabilities through a more accessible vehicle.
The firm's investment focus centers on asset-based and structured credit, employing a long-term, fundamental approach to credit investing. 1WS takes a dynamic, cross-cycle perspective, establishing investment themes that adapt to changing market conditions across multiple collateral profiles and capital structures. The 1WS Credit Income Fund is actively managed with disciplined top-down risk management, and its portfolio flexibility is not constrained by any specific benchmark or index. This unconstrained approach allows the firm to pursue opportunities across a broad spectrum of credit markets, including privately originated and structured credit instruments.
One William Street Capital Management has established a strong reputation in the alternative credit space since its founding, drawing on deep expertise in asset-based lending and structured products developed by its leadership team over decades of institutional investment experience. The firm's ability to operate across multiple credit strategies and capital structures, combined with its rigorous investment process and institutional infrastructure, makes it a recognized name among allocators seeking differentiated fixed income and credit exposure. The 1WS Credit Income Fund extends this institutional capability to a broader base of investors seeking current income in credit-related assets.
