Monroe Capital was selected as the recipient of the 2021 Best U.S. Direct Lending Fund by Creditflux, a London-based global publication and leading information source for the rapidly evolving market for credit funds and CLOs.

It is the fourth consecutive year that a Monroe fund has won the Creditflux Best U.S. Direct Lending Fund Award.
