However, Christophe Evain, chief executive officer of ICG, said in the latest earnings report that the firm's activities could be “successfully applied to adjacent asset classes”.
“From our origins in mezzanine finance, we have successfully expanded into leveraged loans, high yield bonds, minority equity investments and more recently recovery assets,” he added.
