For more than 30 years, Contrarian has identified opportunities across the global credit markets by investing in overlooked, off-the-run, and underappreciated situations where our knowledge and experience uncover long-term value.
Independently owned and fully aligned with our investors, we apply deep in-house research and creative problem solving to pursue attractive returns.
The terms and conditions of use set forth herein apply to each of the pages of this website (collectively, the “Site”). Please read these terms and conditions of use carefully before using this Site.

Contrarian Capital Management, L.L.C., its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively referred to herein as “Contrarian”) may at any time revise these conditions by updating this posting. You are bound by any such revisions and should therefore periodically visit this page to review the then-current terms and conditions of use to which you are bound.
Not an offer of advisory services or securities
The Site is limited exclusively to the dissemination of general information about the services provided by Contrarian. No fiduciary or advisory relationship is created solely by visiting this website. The Site and the information contained herein do not constitute and should not be used or considered as an offer to sell or a solicitation of any offer to buy an interest in any investment fund managed by Contrarian or for the provision of any investment management or advisory services in any jurisdiction. Any such offer or solicitation will be made only by means of the Confidential Private Offering Memorandum relating to the particular fund. Any such advisory services will be provided through an investment management agreement. The contents of this Site do not constitute legal, tax or accounting advice or advice regarding the suitability or profitability of any transaction or investment. Access to information about any fund managed by Contrarian is limited to investors who, among other requirements, qualify as accredited investors within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and qualified purchasers within the meaning of the Investment Company Act, as amended and who are sophisticated in financial matters, such that they are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of prospective investments.

Investment risk
Contrarian makes no representation, and it should not be assumed, that past investment performance is an indication of future results. Moreover, wherever there is the potential for profit there is also the possibility of loss. Certain of Contrarian’s strategies involve investments that are illiquid, are subject to a substantial risk of loss and are not suitable for many investors.
