“The credit quality of our investment portfolio continues to perform well, and we remain confident in the continued resilience of the portfolio, supported by our disciplined focus on the core middle market. Investment in the core middle market typically feature attractive credit spreads, lower leverage, and enhanced lender protections relative to the upper middle market,” said Art Penn, Chairman and CEO. “We remain focused on the plan to rotate out of our equity positions and redeploy that capital into debt investments which will drive growth in our core net investment income.”
