Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Antares closed SLF III at $8.5 billion in May 2026, above target.
  • March 2026's $1.7 billion Ares-led continuation fund monetized old loans and attracted fresh capital.
  • Fitch's June 2026 stable outlook and $5.2 billion undrawn capacity support expansion.

What critics are saying

  • Private credit competition is pressuring structures and pricing across 2026 vintages.
  • AI disruptions will stress portfolio companies, especially healthcare and business-services borrowers.
  • A default spike would crush fundraising, impair AUM growth, and damage the franchise.

What makes Antares Capital unique

  • Thirty years of sponsor relationships still anchor Antares' direct-lending origination machine.
  • Antares held first place in 2026 large-cap direct lending with 26% share.
  • Fitch affirmed Antares BBB in June 2026, supporting institutional trust.

Antares Capital closes $8.5B Senior Loan Fund III, exceeding initial targets

Antares Capital, a leading alternative credit manager with approximately $90 billion in capital under management, has closed its Senior Loan Fund III with $8.5 billion in total commitments, exceeding initial targets. The fund invests in diversified portfolios of primarily senior secured loans across US and Canadian borrowers. SLF III attracted broad participation from new and existing investors, including employees, family offices, asset managers, insurance companies and other global institutions. The fundraise reflects continued institutional demand for private credit amid heightened manager selectivity. Antares leverages nearly 30 years of experience and long-standing sponsor relationships to source investment opportunities. The firm, backed by CPP Investments, maintains offices in Atlanta, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, Toronto and London.

Thoma Bravo's $5.1B Medallia wipeout deepens software, private credit reckoning

Thoma Bravo is nearing an agreement to transfer control of customer experience software firm Medallia to its lenders, wiping out $5.1 billion in equity. Creditors including Blackstone, KKR, Apollo Global and Antares Capital, who hold $3 billion in Medallia debt, will take over the company. Thoma Bravo acquired Medallia for $6.4 billion in 2021 during the low-interest rate era. Lenders have already written down the debt significantly, with valuations ranging from 74 to 79 cents on the dollar. The collapse highlights mounting stress in private credit and software sectors. Business development companies are now trading at their deepest discounts to net asset values in over 5.5 years. There were $46.9 billion in distressed software loans across the private credit market as of February 2026.
