Monroe Capital was selected as the recipient of two Private Debt Investor awards, including the 2021 Senior Lender of the Year and Lower Mid-Market Lender of the Year, in the Americas, awards.

The Private Debt Investor awards are determined annually through a reader poll and aim to recognize the contributions of industry participants to the development of the private debt asset class. The awards recognize firms in three geographic regions: the Americas; Europe; 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 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 in a year when the number of votes cast was higher than ever before,” Andy Thomson, senior editor of Private Debt Investor, said.

“We are honored to be recognized by our investors, business partners and peers in two separate categories in 2021: Senior Lender of the Year and Lower Mid-Market Lender of the Year, in the Americas region,” Ted Koenig, chairman and CEO of Monroe Capital, said. “We are especially honored to be included with a prestigious group of other best-in-class asset management firms. These awards are significant in that they are voted on by our friends and peers throughout the industry.”

“We are grateful to receive these two awards as it shows the benefits of our long-standing commitment to offer a broad platform for investors looking to access the U.S. middle market private credit on a differentiated basis,” Zia Uddin, president of Monroe, said.
