Overview
Breakwall Investment Advisor LLC is a Delaware limited liability company and
investment advisory services firm which provides investment advisory services and
management services as an investment adviser and sub-adviser to certain private
investment funds (collectively with any future private investment fund or sub-advisory
arrangement to which Breakwall provides investment advisory services, including
employee and co-investment vehicles, the “Funds,” and each, a “Fund”). Affiliated entities
formed by Breakwall may serve as general partners to each Fund (collectively with any
future general partner to a Fund, the “General Partners,” and each a “General Partner”).
Breakwall and the General Partners (collectively, “Breakwall”) generally operate as a
single advisory business.
The ultimate owner of our Firm is Breakwall Capital LP. Founders Christopher Abbate,
Jamie Brodsky and Daniel Flannery are the principal owners of and control Breakwall
Capital LP indirectly through certain intermediate entities.
Breakwall seeks to build a portfolio primarily of debt investments with an overall goal of
current income and capital appreciation through its core strategy of direct lending within
specific sectors of the energy industry. Breakwall makes debt investments in companies
whose activities span conventional energy, as well as low carbon and renewable sources.
Breakwall targets the loans towards expanding the infrastructure required to meet the
world’s growing energy demand while facilitating the decarbonization of new and existing
energy assets and creating more sustainable infrastructure. Breakwall also invests in
companies that explore for and produce crude oil and natural gas. Breakwall investments
are expected to be focused primarily on Breakwall-led, directly originated first lien loans.
Opportunistically, Breakwall may seek to make select investments in the secondary market
for syndicated loans, commercial bank facilities
or secured bonds that offer compelling
risk-adjusted returns due to a technical trading issue or misunderstood fundamental credit
issue.
