SLR Capital Closes $2.2B of Equity Commitments to its Direct Lending Strategies

SLR Capital Partners, a registered investment advisor that largely invests in US-based middle-market companies, has raised $2.2bn in equity commitments within its direct cash flow lending and specialty finance strategies – Multi-strategy Private Credit – during the second half of 2022. Including anticipated leverage, the commitments total $3.8bn of additional capital.

Co-founded by Michael Gross and Bruce Spohler, SLR’s equity commitments were secured from pensions, insurance companies, endowments, wealth managers and family offices.

“We focus on senior secured investments across cash flow, asset-based, specialty finance, and life science lending, which enables us to offer a differentiated risk-return profile for our investors,” commented Gross.

SLR’s 2018 and 2019 vintage Multi-strategy Private Credit funds have experienced no realized losses to date.
