It was founded in 2002 by former Goldman Sachs partners Edward A. Mulé and Robert J. O’Shea. Mulé headed or co-headed Goldman's Special Situations Investing Business from 1999 to 2001. O'Shea founded and headed Goldman's Global Bank Loan Business, and headed Goldman's Global High Yield Business. Together, they created and led Goldman's distressed debt and special situation lending businesses before leaving to create Silver Point.[2][3]

In 2014, Silver Point ranked No. 1 overall in Institutional Investor's annual Hedge Fund Report Card survey. The fund received the highest scores out of all hedge funds across Alpha Generation, Alignment of Interests, and Transparency.
