Ansley Park Capital, a leading equipment finance platform, announced the successful closing of its inaugural asset-backed securitization (“ABS”) on November 26, 2025, a landmark transaction valued at over $400 million that now stands as the largest first-time issuance in the large-ticket equipment finance market.
Ansley Park, an affiliated portfolio company of certain Ares Alternative Credit funds, has employed a credit-focused strategy to build a quality diversified portfolio. The successful execution of this ABS transaction underscores Ansley Park’s ability to structure, scale, and deliver customized financing solutions while maintaining rigorous underwriting standards and portfolio performance.
The offering includes more than $400 million of rated securities, with Moody’s providing ratings across the full capital stack. This marks the first time a major rating agency has rated the entire structure of an inaugural issuance in the large-ticket equipment finance sector. Investors demonstrated strong demand, with the transaction oversubscribed across all tranches.
“This milestone transaction is a testament to the innovative vision of our platform, the confidence of our investors, and the dedication of our exceptional team,” commented Eric Miller, President and Chief Executive Officer of Ansley Park Capital. “Together, we are building and scaling a company that is setting new industry benchmarks.”
“Ansley Park Capital has distinguished itself with rapid growth, rigorous underwriting, and a commitment to building a premier equipment finance platform,” said Ankur Patel, Partner in Alternative Credit at Ares Management. “This inaugural securitization showcases the strength of the team and the trust the market has placed in the platform. We are excited to support Ansley Park Capital’s continued growth and expansion.”
“This securitization is a true team accomplishment, highlighting the quality of our portfolio, and the outstanding work of our finance and capital markets teams. We are grateful for the trust and support placed by ABS investors in our platform,” added Abhay Bhootra, Chief Financial Officer of Ansley Park Capital. “Achieving this scale and level of execution underscores the discipline and dedication that define our organization.”
