Direct Lending Vertical Seeks to Capture Additional Opportunities Generated by the Firm’s Existing Origination Engine & Credit Underwriting Framework
Complements Flagship Strategic LendingVertical, Building on Colbeck’s 17-Year Track Record in Private Credit
Colbeck Capital Management (“Colbeck”), a leading middle-market private credit firm focused on strategic lending, announced the launch of Colbeck Strategic Income (“CSI”), a new direct lending vertical, with an initial capital commitment of approximately $400 million. The launch of CSI demonstrates continued market demand for Colbeck’s differentiated products and complements the firm’s $1.7+ billion Colbeck Strategic Lending ("CSL") vertical.1 CSL closed its third fund in December 2024, 40% above its target given strong investor demand for alpha-generating capital solutions products.
CSI focuses primarily on first-lien senior secured loans to middle-market companies experiencing their next stage transition. Colbeck is executing the strategy and has made six investments to date, with the support of both existing Colbeck clients and new relationships, and a robust pipeline of near-term investment opportunities. Consistent with Colbeck’s fundamental approach proven over the last 17 years, CSI seeks to finance companies who are experiencing transformative growth, emphasizing downside protection and structural flexibility. Leveraging its extensive underwriting and structuring experience, deep sourcing networks, and private equity-style engagement, Colbeck seeks to create value for both its borrowers and investors at all points of the credit cycle.
