Monroe Capital was selected as the recipient of the 2016 Lower Mid-Market Lender of the Year Award in the Americas region by Private Debt Investor, a global independent publication based in London.

This is the fourth consecutive year that Monroe has been recognized by the Private Debt Investor Awards as a leader in the Lower Mid-Market, Unitranche and Senior Lender categories.

The Private Debt Investor Awards recognize firms in three geographic regions: the Americas; Europe, Middle East and Africa; and Asia-Pacific. Winners were selected by eligible voters among the private debt, private equity and institutional investor communities.

“Private Debt Investor congratulates the Monroe Capital team on its award in what was a very competitive category. These awards are voted ‘by the market for the market’, so they are a genuine reflection of the views of the asset class in a year when the number of votes cast was higher than ever before,” said Andy Thomson, senior editor.

“We are honored to be recognized by our investors, business partners and peers as the Lower Mid-Market Lender of the Year for the Americas,” said Ted Koenig, president and CEO of Monroe Capital. “We are especially honored to be included with such a select group of other high quality asset managers. Institutional investors have come to appreciate the consistent and non-correlated returns generated by the Monroe Capital family of funds.”

Monroe Capital provides “one-stop” financing solutions for buyout, recapitalization, growth, and refinance transactions in the form of senior and junior loans and equity co-investments, supporting both private equity sponsored and non-sponsored transactions and privately owned businesses.
