The CABO platform currently manages over $20 billion and leverages three proprietary operating platforms (an asset manager, property manager, and originator) to execute its investment strategies. 

Our Asset Backed Opportunities strategy seeks to maximize absolute return through a combination of capital appreciation and current income, investing primarily in mortgages, loans, consumer credit and real assets.
