Employee-owned emerging markets credit business, Argentem Creek Partners, is aiming to raise fresh capital following its exit from Black River Asset Management.

The team, staffed by the entire former Black River emerging markets credit investment team, is led by chief executive, Daniel Chapman, president, Charles Friedberg and global head of business development, Angela Samfilippo, who believe the sectors has "abundant investment opportunities".

The firm, which officially left Black River on 30 December 2015, estimated the total current capacity of its emerging market distressed debt and special situations strategy to be about US$1 billion.

"Emerging markets corporate credit represents a large and inefficient asset class with fewer participants today than five or more years ago as banks have curtained their proprietary trading desk activities and, as a result, we have observed that market liquidity has diminished materially," Chapman said.

"The asset class has grown to US$1.6 trillion with a 20 per cent compound annual growth rate over the last decade across more than 30 countries with different laws, regulatory environments and disclosures.

"We believe that these factors, coupled with recent emerging market distress, have created abundant investment opportunities."
