They have the capability to commit up to $38,500,000 for each investment, aligning with the goal of long-term value for both borrowers and shareholders.

As a specialty finance entity, they are managed by a subsidiary of Fifth Street Asset Management Inc., which is a seasoned credit-focused asset manager overseeing more than $5 billion across various investment vehicles, including both public and private funds.
