Cerberus Capital Management, L.P.

Founded in 1992 and headquartered in New York City, Cerberus is a global alternative investment manager operating across credit, private equity, and real estate. Its platforms include direct lending, corporate credit, operational private equity, real estate, non-performing loans, structured credit, and venture investing.

Cerberus is particularly associated with complex and distressed opportunities, including non-performing loans and situations requiring restructuring or operational change. The firm combines investment teams with proprietary operating and servicing capabilities, giving it an active role in improving portfolio companies, properties, and loan portfolios.

For a MiM student, the firm is notable for its mix of investing, underwriting, portfolio management, restructuring, real-estate finance, and operational roles rather than a narrow buyout-only model. Its global footprint includes the United States, Europe, Asia, Australia, South America, and Africa.
