Sound Point Capital Management, LP (“Sound Point”), a global alternative credit manager, and Atlanta-based Skypoint Capital Advisors (“Skypoint”), today announced the launch of the Sound Point Alternative Income Fund (“SAFTX” or the “Fund”), a multi-asset credit interval fund that provides greater access to a range of private and alternative credit strategies for individual investors.
SAFTX seeks to generate current income with attractive risk-adjusted returns by investing in a diversified range of private and alternative credit strategies managed by Sound Point across its $45 billion integrated credit platform. The Fund will primarily focus on core middle market direct lending, complemented by private asset-based capital solutions and specialty finance, while retaining the flexibility to opportunistically allocate to liquid credit when relative value is compelling. SATFX’s investment strategy will seek to mitigate risk by allocating across a diversified range of credit asset classes backed by both contractual cash flows and hard and specialty financial assets, with an objective of loss avoidance and selectivity, principles that have defined Sound Point’s approach since its founding in 2008 across a range of market environments.
SAFTX will be managed and overseen by Sound Point’s experienced team of investment professionals including Tom Newberry, Chief Credit Officer and Executive Chairman of Direct Lending, Gunther Stein, Head and CIO of U.S. Performing Credit, and Jane Lawrence, U.S. CLO and Senior Floating Rate Portfolio Manager.
“The core middle market continues to offer stronger structural protections and more attractive spreads than the increasingly crowded large-cap direct lending market,” said Tom Newberry. “Our edge lies in our selectivity and discipline. We invest in only a small percentage of the opportunities we evaluate, while maintaining the ability to deploy capital opportunistically.”
“Liquid credit plays an important role within the strategy, particularly during periods of market dislocation when relative value can shift rapidly,” said Gunther Stein. “Our scale across performing credit and CLOs provides continuous insight into issuer fundamentals, sector dynamics, and capital structures, enabling us to allocate capital with precision across markets. That flexibility enhances liquidity, supports risk management, and complements the Fund’s diversified private credit foundation.”
The interval fund structure provides quarterly liquidity through repurchase offers of at least 5% of outstanding shares, quarterly income distributions, daily NAV pricing, simplified 1099 tax reporting, a single layer of fees, and a de novo portfolio without the potential for legacy credit issues. The Fund will be available to registered investment advisors that custody with Charles Schwab and Fidelity and is also available for direct investment. It will initially offer I Shares (SAFTX) only but has been granted a multi-class exemption to offer other share classes in the future.

Investment in the Sound Point Alternative Income Fund is speculative and involves substantial risks, including the risk of loss of a Shareholder’s entire investment. Investors may not have immediate access to invested capital for an indefinite period of time and must have the financial ability, sophistication/experience, and willingness to bear the risks of an illiquid investment. No public market for Shares exists, and none is expected to develop in the future. An investor’s participation in the Fund is a long-term commitment, with no certainty of return. The Fund is a newly organized, non-diversified, closed-end management investment company with no operating history. The Fund is subject to all the business risks and uncertainties associated with any new business, including the risk that the Fund will not achieve its investment objectives and that the value of Shares could decline substantially. It is designed for long-term investing and not as a vehicle for trading. The Fund’s success depends on the acumen and expertise of the Sub-Adviser in selecting investments or other assets in which to invest. The strategies implemented by the Sub-Adviser typically are leveraged. The use of leverage increases both risk of loss and profit potential.
The Fund has been organized as a closed-end management investment company. Closed-end funds differ from open-end management investment companies (commonly known as mutual funds) in that investors in a closed-end fund do not have the right to redeem their Shares on a daily basis. To meet daily redemption requests, mutual funds are subject to more stringent regulatory limitations than closed-end funds. The Fund does not currently intend to list the Shares for trading on any securities exchange, and the Fund does not expect any secondary market to develop for the Shares in the foreseeable future.
The Sound Point Alternative Income Fund is distributed by Distribution Services, LLC (DS), not affiliated with Skypoint Capital Advisors, LLC or Sound Point Capital Management, LP.
AUM figures provided are as of 12/31/2025. Firm-wide AUM does not include redemptions received or liquidations that may be in effect after 12/31/2025. Firm-wide AUM, where relevant, includes committed capital to discretionary draw-down vehicles that have not yet been drawn, entities that are not open to new investors and/or are in the process of winding down and represents the closed total commitment of all loans managed by Sound Point Commercial Real Estate Credit as of 12/31/2025, including inherited portfolios managed that were originated by another manager and assets attributable to a non-advisory client.
