Monroe Capital LLC is pleased to announce that it is the recipient of the 2014 Senior Lender of the Year in the Americas Award by the Private Debt Investor, a global independent publication based in London, covering the private debt and private equity industries.

This award recognizes the firm as “the leading Senior Lender” in the Americas. 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. 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 limited partner communities, with more than 3,000 separate votes cast. Prior Private Debt Investor award winners have included, among others, Ares Capital, Golub Capital, GSO Capital Partners, Oak Tree Capital Management and BlackRock.

"Private Debt Investor congratulates the Monroe Capital team on its award in what was a very competitive category. These awards are voted for by the market, so it is a real acknowledgement of Monroe’s success by other lenders and investors," said Rachel McGovern, Editor of Private Debt Investor.

“We are honored to be recognized by our peers and colleagues as the Senior Lender of the Year for the Americas,” said Ted Koenig, President and CEO of Monroe Capital LLC. “We are especially honored to be included with such a select group of other quality senior lenders. Institutional limited partners have come to appreciate the unique, consistent and differentiated investment returns generated by the Monroe Capital family of funds.”
