Invesco’s Direct Lending strategy seeks to directly originate senior secured loans to middle market companies. We believe these loans represent an attractive opportunity for investors to generate strong risk adjusted returns with lower volatility relative to other traditional fixed income asset classes. Our strategy draws upon the team’s significant experience in sourcing and investing in middle market opportunities.
The strategy is heavily skewed towards capital preservation with a keen focus on disciplined asset selection and rigorous due diligence. The strategy will primarily target senior secured loans including first lien and unitranche loans.
Our ability to combine the above strengths with our focus on the ‘core middle market’ distinguishes our strategy relative to competitors.
