Centerbridge Partners is a multi-strategy private investment firm that focuses on leveraged buyouts and distressed securities.

Founded in 2005 by Jeffrey Aronson and Mark Gallogly, Centerbridge Partners is a multi-strategy investment firm headquartered in New York City with an additional office in London. The firm was established by veterans of Angelo, Gordon & Co. and the Blackstone Group to focus on a combination of control and non-control investment opportunities.

The firm operates across private equity and credit markets, employing a loan-to-own strategy in public debt alongside traditional leveraged buyouts. Since its inception, Centerbridge has raised multiple flagship funds and specialized credit vehicles, including the Centerbridge Special Credit Partners series.

Centerbridge is active in various sectors, notably hospitality, restaurants, and renewable energy. It has gained attention for its involvement in high-profile restructuring cases and distressed debt litigation, including its role in the Ad Hoc group of hedge funds related to Puerto Rican government bonds.
