LONDON, Jan. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Moody Aldrich Partners (MAP), a private investment firm based in Boston, commits US$600 million to SCIO Capital LLP (SCIO), a London- based European asset-based private credit manager.
Founded in 2009 by a team of senior Deutsche Bank structured credit specialists, SCIO manages both open and closed-end funds from their Luxembourg-based fund platform. Their award-winning flagship SCIO Opportunity fund—launched in 2016—offers investors access to European asset-based private credit in an evergreen vehicle format.
SCIO founder and CIO Greg Branch shares, “Having worked with the same investment team here at SCIO for over a decade, we have a deep loyalty to each other and to the core investment principles upon which SCIO was built. Compounding our investors’ capital is the reward for our unrelenting obsession with downside protection.”
Founded in 1988, MAP is a fiduciary for discreet families and institutions with a legacy of supporting high-calibre, specialist managers known for their expertise and disciplined execution.
“SCIO’s deep understanding of valuation, underwriting and tight collateralization structuring separates them from their peers,” notes MAP Co-CEO and CIO Eli Kent, “Their extensive networks, private sourcing, and rigorous underwriting all reinforce our confidence in their fiduciary stewardship of our capital.”
Bill Moody, Executive Chairman and Co-CEO of MAP notes, “SCIO’s distinct investment edge is clearly rooted in their opportunistic approach to the asset-backed, private credit sector. It wasn’t just their acuity, acumen and judgment in portfolio construction that inspired our conviction; it was their prescient understanding of the behaviour of — and therefore how to mitigate risk and effectively capitalize upon — a curated portfolio of diverse credit instruments. We are honoured to be one of their many trusted, loyal and long-term investors.”
