Lending

Madison's latest fund raise follows recent CLO fundriases from Antares and Carlyle.

Antares, Madison Capital and Trinitas Capital have also rasied CLOs in 2017.

The lender joins Antares Capital, Carlyle, Trinitas Capital and Wellfleet as a firm reinforcing the benefits of the CLO capital structure.

“Because there’s so much money in the marketplace, private equity firms are really prevalent today,” says Monroe Capital’s Tom Aronson, in an interview at ACG’s InterGrowth 2017.

There’s no such thing as a “typical” M&A process anymore, says Golub Capital’s Michael Loehrke in an interview at ACG’s InterGrowth 2017.

Antares, Carlyle, Goldpoint and Littlejohn's Wellfleet also raised capital for lending.

Antares, led by co-CEOs John Martin and David Brackett, looks to invest in middle market leveraged loans. Carlyle and Littlejohn's Wellfleet have also raised CLO-focused funds.
