Cooper Road Investments: Navigating Wealth, Empowering Futures
Welcome to Cooper Road Investments, where strategic vision meets tangible results..

Investment Strategies
We provide short term opportunistic credit solutions for lower-middle to middle market companies.
Capital markets have tightened significantly, forcing numerous businesses to search fiercely for alternative funding sources, at more attractive interest rates and stronger protective terms for the lender. Regulatory scrutiny has furthered this trend.
While each deal we fund is bespoke, we focus on investing in collateralized loans to commercial borrowers in which we can secure assets, receive guarantees from key principals, receive and limit duration to less than one year.
We execute deals with speed, size and flexibility that is unmatched by banks and other direct lenders.
