Focused on Defensive Growth

NMFC’s mandate is to primarily target businesses in the middle market that, consistent with New Mountain’s private equity platform, are high quality, defensive growth companies in industries that are well-researched by New Mountain. We focus on companies and end markets with sustainable strengths in all economic cycles to achieve superior risk-adjusted returns despite economic volatility.

We invest primarily in senior secured debt of U.S. middle market businesses, which we define by annual EBITDA of between $10 million and $200 million, that are defined by the following defensive growth characteristics:
