UK Disclosures
Castlelake (UK) LLP, a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Castlelake, L.P., is authorized and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
UK Stewardship Code Statement
Castlelake is not a signatory to the UK Stewardship Code. Although Castlelake generally supports the objectives that underlie the Code, Castlelake has chosen not to commit to it given the nature of our investment strategy and the types of investments we make, all as further described on this website. Castlelake has established a Environmental, Social and Governance Policy as it believes that ESG factors can have a material influence on investment outcomes. The policy outlines Castlelake’s commitment to incorporating ESG factors into investment analysis and decision making where such factors are deemed to be relevant, while also acting in a manner that is consistent with Castlelake’s fiduciary responsibility to its clients.
UK Shareholder Engagement Disclosure
The Shareholder Rights Directive II (SRD II) requires certain UK portfolio managers to develop and disclose a shareholder engagement policy or provide an explanation of why they have chosen not to do so. Castlelake has considered the requirements of SRD II and has concluded that it would not be appropriate for the Firm to develop a shareholder engagement policy at this time. Although Castlelake closely monitors performance of the listed companies in which it invests, it does not consider shareholder engagement in listed companies to be an integral part of its investment process or its investment strategy. Castlelake will continue to evaluate any future developments in its approach to shareholder engagement and may update this statement from time to time.
Disclaimers
All figures cited on this website are current as of December 31, 2022 unless otherwise specified. Such figures are based on internal Castlelake data or, where applicable, third-party information, which is maintained by Castlelake for reference purposes.
This website is for information purposes only and does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any security, investment product, or service. Offers to sell, and solicitations of offers to buy, the securities issued by any account, fund or vehicle managed by Castlelake (a “Castlelake Fund”) will be made exclusively by the offering materials relating to such securities. The securities issued by any Castlelake Fund have not been approved or disapproved by the securities regulatory authority of any state or by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), or by any regulator outside the United States. Any representation to the contrary is unlawful. No securities of any Castlelake Fund will be, nor have been, registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the securities laws of any state of the United States or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction, nor is such registration contemplated. No sale of Castlelake Fund interests will be made in any jurisdiction in which the offer, solicitation, or sale is not authorized or to any person to whom it is unlawful to make the offer, solicitation or sale. No Castlelake Fund will be registered as an investment company under the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and consequently the investors therein will not be afforded the protections thereof. Potential investors are required to inform themselves of, and to observe, any legal restrictions on their involvement in the offering. Further, this website has not been approved by the SEC, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission or any other regulatory authority or securities commission in the United States or elsewhere. Registration with the SEC does not imply any certain level of skill or training.

In addition, no information, content or other materials contained on the website should be construed or relied upon as investment, legal, accounting, tax or other professional advice or in connection with any offer or sale of securities.

Past performance is not indicative of future results; no representation is being made that any investment will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those achieved in the past, or that significant losses will be avoided. All statements concerning investments by Castlelake, capital deployment, investing or related activities refer to that which has been conducted on behalf of Castlelake Funds or vehicles for which Castlelake serves as investment manager or servicer. Any transactions listed, or referred to, on the website are included as examples of transactions that have been pursued in the past, and should not be understood to include a complete list of all transactions that have been pursued to reflect overall or future performance. Investments in securities will not always be profitable, and investors may lose money, including principal.
“Assets under management” or “AUM” refers to the assets that Castlelake manages or advises and is not the equivalent of "regulatory assets under management." Our AUM generally equals the sum of the following:
- the aggregate net asset value of the Castlelake Funds and separately managed accounts and related vehicles, plus the capital that Castlelake is entitled to call (including capital over which Castlelake has limited discretion and for certain of which such investors have no requirement to authorize deployment) from investors in those funds and vehicles (including Castlelake’s commitments to those funds and vehicles and those of Castlelake's partners, professionals and employees) pursuant to the terms of their capital commitments to those funds and vehicles;
- the aggregate net asset value of third-party equity held in co-investment and similar structures and the fair value of asset-backed structures, securitizations, and lending vehicles; and
- the aggregate amount of outstanding external debt held in asset-backed structures, securitizations, and lending vehicles.
References to the experience of our employees, including senior-level employees (where senior-level is defined as directors, managing directors, and partners across the aggregate Castlelake team), includes the combined average years of experience of those employees. In certain circumstances, where relevant, this includes experience prior to employment with Castlelake.
