Expertise

Astra specialises in structured credit investments and aims to generate alpha by capitalising on the dislocations in credit markets expressed through use of both cash and credit derivatives instruments. Changes in the regulatory environment resulted in an imbalanced credit pricing that ranges from highly overpriced investment grade liquid instruments to deeply under-priced complex credit risk. Astra aims to capture the dislocation by investing in a variety of instruments ranging from complex synthetic credit default swaps to structured asset backed or distressed corporate debt. Astra capitalises its expertise in securitisation, pricing of credit risk and innovative structuring methods to provide efficient and economically viable capital to its corporate partners for restructuring as well as growth.
