The big picture

Main Street continues to aggressively deploy capital in the lower middle market, targeting companies with $25M-$500M revenue. The firm's focus on secured debt positions it well in a rising rate environment, but its concentration in specific sectors could present risks if economic conditions deteriorate. With $2.1B in private loan portfolio investments across 86 companies, Main Street demonstrates significant scale in this niche of the credit market.
