Monroe Capital LLC

Founded in 2004, Monroe Capital LLC has emerged as a premier asset management firm known for its expert portfolio management and investment advisory services. The firm primarily serves pooled investment vehicles, institutional investors, registered investment advisors, and affluent individuals across the United States and Canada. The firm is adept at navigating the private credit markets, employing various strategies, including direct lending, technology finance, venture debt, opportunistic and structured credit, real estate, and equity. Monroe Capital's headquarters are strategically located in Chicago, Illinois. The firm operates as an SEC-registered investment advisor and boasts a significant presence with ten regional offices dispersed throughout the United States and Asia. The company's workforce includes around 240 employees, of which 105 are investment professionals. The senior management team is noted for their profound expertise, each bringing an average of more than 25 years of experience to the firm. Monroe Capital celebrates a notable anniversary this year, marking 20 years of continuous operation. By the close of 2023, the firm anticipates its assets under management will exceed the $20 billion threshold. This year also commemorates the fifth anniversary of the firm's wealth management channel, illustrating a sustained trajectory of growth and achievement. Monroe Capital is fundamentally integrated into the U.S. middle market, engaging with nearly 200,000 companies that generate annual revenues ranging from $10 million to $1 billion. These businesses are predominantly run by families or entrepreneurs, with some managed under private equity or public ownership. They are essential contributors to the U.S. economy, employing roughly 48 million people, responsible for about one-third of the private sector GDP, and collectively contributing nearly $10 trillion annually to the national economy. The firm provides critical capital support to these middle-market companies, aiding them in activities such as acquisitions, managing transitions of ownership within families, supporting private equity M&A transactions, funding investments in property and equipment, enhancing working capital, driving revenue growth, and facilitating international expansion. A key element of Monroe's strategic approach has been its focus on small to mid-sized businesses within the lower middle market, targeting those with $35 million EBITDA and below. The firm's longstanding success can be attributed to its commitment to acting as a value-added, client-focused, dependable partner. The firm offers diverse investment products designed to generate high-quality returns for high-net-worth investors and are adaptable to various economic conditions and business cycles. Monroe is celebrated for its efficiency and effectiveness in deal execution. The firm maintains stringent underwriting credit standards and possesses a thorough credit platform, guaranteeing stable and reliable returns for its investors. Monroe Capital Corporation's recognition from its peers and the industry underscores its performance and reliability. The firm has been awarded multiple distinctions, such as the 2023 Lower Mid-Market Lender of the Decade, and numerous other accolades that affirm its industry leadership. Since 2013, the firm has won 16 awards from Private Debt Investor (PDI), highlighting its consistent performance and commitment to excellence. In terms of expansion, Monroe continues to develop its global footprint and team. Recently, the firm expanded its operations in the Middle East with a new managing director and is establishing an office in Abu Dhabi. The technology finance group has also grown by including a new managing director based in Chicago. Committed to responsible corporate citizenship, Monroe Capital actively promotes environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) practices. The firm is a signatory to the United Nations-supported Principles for Responsible Investment ("PRI") and participates in the UN Global Compact, advocating for sustainable and ethical operational practices. Diversity and inclusion are crucial to Monroe's ethos. Its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee fosters an inclusive culture that values and recognizes talent, promotes equality, and enables positive change within and outside the firm. Monroe Capital also prioritizes community involvement, actively participating in initiatives like Hope Chicago, which aims to raise $1 billion for educational scholarships. Additionally, the firm supports the Chicago Urban League. It encourages employee participation in community service through partnerships with local nonprofits such as My Block, My Hood, My City, Cradles to Crayons, and the Chicago Food Depository. Furthermore, Monroe Capital Management Advisors manages an ESG Article 8 Fund, emphasizing its dedication to responsible investing by evaluating its investments' environmental, social, and governance aspects. This approach aligns with the firm's ethical commitments and reinforces its role as a pioneering and conscientious leader in the financial industry.
