Private Credit
PineBridge’s Private Credit team seeks to provide senior secured loans to U.S.-based lower-middle-market sponsor-backed companies seeking capital for growth, acquisitions, leveraged buyouts, and recapitalizations. As a solutions-oriented lender and trusted partner of middle market companies and private equity firms, we provide senior secured capital across a variety of situations and industries.
$5.0bn of Committed Capital
Comprised of 82 first lien and 2 second lien loans across a portfolio of 84 companies (50 active, 34 exits) since 20171
Lower Middle Market Focus
We believe the lower middle market affords greater covenant protection and less spread compression relative to the traditional middle market
Seasoned Leadership Team
Experienced team that has worked together for decades with a deep understanding of middle market credit spanning multiple cycles
1 As of 30 September 2024
What Defines Our Approach
Safety
Loans are secured by collateral, have seniority in the capital structure, and feature traditional covenant protections1
Yield
Floating rate investment strategy providing strong risk-adjusted returns throughout economic cycles + “illiquidity premium” compared to broadly syndicated loans2
Volume
Origination focus and seasoned, long-tenured relationships with private equity firms generates high-quality pipeline and enables selectivity
PineBridge Platform
Integrated global credit platform, with $62.0bn invested across public and private market credit strategies including private credit, broadly syndicated loans, high yield, investment grade, and corporates3
1No investment strategy or risk management technique can guarantee returns or eliminate risk in any market environment.
