Assured Investment Management
Assured Investment Management was established in 2019 through the acquisition of BlueMountain Capital Management, LLC by a subsidiary of Assured Guaranty Ltd. (NYSE: AGO), a leading financial guaranty insurance company. Prior to the transaction, BlueMountain built a long record of success managing credit-focused investments, dating back to 2003, and now ranks among the largest global managers of collateralized loan obligations. The resulting investment platform combines Assured Guaranty’s core competencies in municipal finance and structured credit with BlueMountain’s experience in structured finance, corporate and municipal credit, asset-based securities, and private investments in healthcare.
