In a bold move to expand its footprint in the booming entertainment IP market, HarbourView Equity Partners has secured another $500 million in debt financing backed by private securitization, with heavyweight backing from investors managed by KKR.
The Monday announcement marks a pivotal moment for the alternative asset manager, bringing its total 2024 financing from KKR-linked vehicles and other investors to a whopping $1 billion.
Riding the Rhythm of Evergreen IP
Founded in 2021 and managing $2.67 billion in assets, HarbourView is rapidly becoming a titan in the music and media space by betting on the timeless appeal—and cash flow—of creative works. From lyrics and melodies to master recordings, the firm sees music catalogs as the vinyl gold of modern investment strategy: timeless, resilient, and surprisingly lucrative.
“This additional capital from KKR will help us accelerate our strategy to align with where the media, sports and entertainment markets are headed,” said Sherrese Clarke Soares, HarbourView’s founder and CEO.
Soares called intellectual property “a powerful diversification tool” that has shown a historic ability to outplay broader market volatility—a safe harbor in choppy financial seas.
