“Our second quarter activity reflects the accelerating momentum and continued maturation of the ACP platform, including the depth of relationships and unique sourcing channels we have cultivated across our target borrower universe,” said ACP’s Aaron Kless, chief executive and chief investment officer. “We saw particular opportunity in the specialty services sector, which contains essential, everyday businesses that are high cash flowing and resilient against broader macroeconomic pressures,” he added.

The financing was provided to non-sponsored and sponsor-backed borrowers in specialty services, but also across construction & building, healthcare services, hotel, gaming & leisure, and food & beverage.

ACP focuses on diversified senior secured leveraged lending, including first lien and unitranche loans.
