New Mountain’s Approach to Credit
New Mountain’s credit strategy launched in 2008 to apply the Firm’s private equity investment philosophy to corporate lending opportunities. New Mountain’s credit strategy seeks to invest in businesses in the middle market that, consistent with the Firm’s private equity platform, are defensive growth companies in industries that are well-researched by New Mountain.
New Mountain’s credit investment process leverages the resources, investing experience, knowledge and relationships of the entire New Mountain platform. The Firm’s private equity investment professionals and its dedicated credit staff work as a unified team to find new investment opportunities, underwrite and execute them, and monitor the resulting credit portfolio. The Firm believes that this integrated approach enables a deeper level of due diligence and promotes better credit selection.
Since inception, New Mountain has invested approximately $24 billion in credit.1 Today, New Mountain manages approximately $11 billion in credit across a number of products.2
Private Credit
New Mountain has strategically expanded its credit offerings over the years as the platform proved to be highly aligned with the Firm’s overall defensive growth strategy. Today, New Mountain offers a number of private credit products to meet the needs of the Firm’s diverse investor base.
