“I’m excited to announce our record breaking 2021,” says Ted Koenig, Chairman and CEO of Monroe Capital. “It all starts with the people. We expanded our team 13% by hiring an additional 39 employees with a focus in underwriting, middle and back office, marketing and investor relations. We continue to capitalize on the robust market with new business outreach and leveraging our existing relationships with private equity firms. Our strong deal sourcing and flexible investing approach allows us to be a first and last call to the financial sponsor and non-sponsor community alike.  It is a strong "alpha" generator for our limited partner investors.”
 
Since inception in 2004, the firm has invested over 1,500 investments involving over $25 billion of investment loans. Monroe’s core investment efforts focus on the US Lower Middle Market, targeting companies with $35 million or less of EBITDA.
