Crescent Capital Group is a global alternative investment firm specializing in below investment grade credit markets.

Founded in 1991 by former Drexel Burnham Lambert investment bankers Mark Attanasio, Robert D. Beyer, and Jean-Marc Chapus, Crescent Capital Group was initially established to provide capital to middle-market companies and manage distressed portfolios. The firm was sold to Trust Company of the West (TCW) in 1995, where it operated as the leveraged finance and mezzanine capital group for fifteen years. In 2010, the firm spun off from TCW to re-establish itself as a stand-alone entity.

The firm focuses on below investment grade credit markets, providing capital through various products including senior debt, high-yield bonds, and mezzanine capital. In 2021, the Canadian financial services company Sun Life Financial acquired a 51% majority stake in the firm. Today, Crescent Capital Group operates globally with a significant presence in Los Angeles and London, having invested in over 190 companies since its inception.
