MILAN (Reuters) - Cairn Capital Group, the alternative credit asset management firm majority owned by Italy's Mediobanca, said on Thursday it would rename itself Polus Capital Management after merging with rival Bybrook Capital.

Acquired in 2015 by Mediobanca, Cairn Capital is an independently managed affiliate of the Milanese bank's asset management division.

Just over a year ago, Cairn Capital closed the acquisition of Bybrook, a London-based rival focused on special situations in Europe and stressed and distressed debt, with $2.4 billion in assets.
