Our Story

Beginning with a small group of private investors in 2009, Sentinel’s first transactions were rooted in the distressed debt marketplace, focused heavily on acquiring and restructuring commercial debt obligations to FDIC insured lenders. Since then, Sentinel has grown in company size and assets under management while expanding into other industries and asset classes.

To date, Sentinel has made debt and equity investments totaling approximately $700 million. While Sentinel continues to engage in distressed debt transactions as its core business, the company’s investment model has adapted to a more growth-focused economy. Sentinel has made equity investments in a number of operating portfolio companies in a broad range of industries varying from the well-established to up and coming emerging markets.

What differentiates Sentinel is our unique approach to investor relations. Our model is to align with industry leaders in any market where an investment is placed. In other words, Sentinel has more to offer than access to capital. We do not make an investment without thoroughly underwriting the opportunity and bringing an industry expert into the transaction on an equity basis to ensure a positive outcome.
