Monroe Capital was selected as the recipient of two separate Private Debt Investor (“PDI”) awards, including the 2023 Lower Mid-Market Lender of the Year and CLO Manager of the Year (Americas).
PDI is a private markets publication, tracking the institutions, the funds, and the transactions shaping the private debt markets. PDI is published by PEI, the only global B2B information group focused exclusively on private equity, private debt, private real estate, infrastructure and agri investing.
The Private Debt Investor Awards are determined annually to recognize the contributions of industry participants in the private debt asset class. The awards recognize firms in three geographic regions of Asia-Pacific, Europe and North America. Winners were selected by thousands of voters among the private debt, private equity and institutional investor communities. Monroe Capital has won 16 PDI Awards since the award program inception in 2013.
“Private Debt Investor congratulates Monroe Capital on its multiple award wins in what were very competitive categories. These awards are voted 'by the market, for the market,' so they are a genuine reflection of the views of the asset class,” said Andy Thomson, Senior Editor of Private Debt Investor.
Zia Uddin, President of Monroe added, “We are thrilled to celebrate our 20-year anniversary with these awards. We have worked hard to build trust with our investors, private equity sponsors and borrowers since our inception in order to be recognized as an award-winning firm. This broad recognition across our lower middle market and CLO strategies reflects our ability to offer stable, high risk adjusted returns for our investors. We remain committed to building our differentiated approach to investing and continue to search for new opportunities that capitalize on our platform.”
As of January 1, 2024, the firm has $18.4 billion AUM and a diversified private credit platform of direct lending and opportunistic credit funds, venture debt, publicly traded and private BDCs, separately managed accounts, and CLOs.
