NexPoint Launches Credit Catalyst Fund, Expanding Suite of Event-Driven Investment Solutions

NexPoint Credit Catalyst Fund Adds Third Special Situations Strategy to NexPoint’s Liquid Alternatives Fund Offerings

DALLAS, July 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- NexPoint, a multibillion-dollar alternative investment firm, today announced the launch of the NexPoint Credit Catalyst Fund (Ticker:NEDZX) (the “Fund”), a 1940 Act-registered open-end mutual fund managed by NexPoint Asset Management, L.P. (the “Adviser”). The Fund is designed to provide current income and capital appreciation by investing in fixed-income securities of companies that the Adviser expects to benefit from an event catalyst. Specific event catalysts include mergers and acquisitions, capital structure arbitrage, asset sales, restructurings, refinancings, and other corporate events that can influence the price of corporate credit instruments.

The NexPoint Credit Catalyst Fund will leverage NexPoint’s deep credit market experience and robust event-driven platform, which was developed over the past decade to support research and portfolio management for the NexPoint Merger Arbitrage (HMEZX) and NexPoint Event-Driven (HHCZX) Funds, launched in 2015 and 2022, respectively. The Fund is a complementary offering to the merger arbitrage and event-driven strategies, which primarily focus on public equity securities. Together, the three funds provide a suite of event-driven products—all within registered fund vehicles—to meet a range of investor needs across market environments.

NexPoint sees the Fund as filling a gap in portfolio construction. The flexible credit event strategy aims to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns across credit cycles and interest rate environments. Returns are driven by the outcome of dynamic, catalyst-focused corporate events rather than duration, credit quality, or the general direction of the broader fixed-income market. Additionally, fixed-income event-driven strategies have historically provided a low correlation to stocks and bonds, which can enhance portfolio diversification.

The NexPoint Credit Catalyst Fund draws on the strength of the disciplined research, risk analysis, and portfolio management processes that are the foundation of NexPoint’s event-driven investment platform and drive the management of the NexPoint Merger Arbitrage and Event Driven Funds. These processes, along with NexPoint’s credit investment activities, provide visibility into a range of event catalysts that can create compelling investment opportunities. The credit-focused strategy expands NexPoint’s event-driven investment universe, allowing the Adviser to pursue a wide array of event catalysts across the capital structure to maximize value. With this Fund launch, NexPoint adds a fixed-income solution to its event-driven platform, complementing its existing fund lineup.

“The NexPoint Credit Catalyst Fund builds on the proven approach and track records of our Merger Arbitrage and Event Driven Funds. With NexPoint’s history in credit markets and innovative product strategy, we are bringing a unique solution to investors that complements our existing event-driven offerings,” said NexPoint Managing Director Scott Johnson, who serves as Portfolio Manager for the Fund and all NexPoint event-driven offerings. “The Fund launches into a dynamic market, with a rapidly changing geopolitical and economic landscape giving rise to complex transactions and other corporate events that can create a range of investment opportunities. With a demonstrated ability to navigate these environments, we look forward to pursuing flexible credit opportunities in this new fund structure.”
