Northleaf Capital Partners (Northleaf) announced today that it held the final closing for Northleaf Private Credit II (NPC II) and a related separately managed account, raising more than US$900 million to invest in performing loans to global mid-market companies. Including anticipated leverage, the total investible capital amounts to approximately US$1.2 billion. Northleaf’s private credit program seeks to provide investors with diversified exposure to mid-market private credit investments and offers flexible debt financing solutions to privately held companies.

“We are pleased with the strong support from both new and existing investors,” said Stuart Waugh, Managing Partner of Northleaf. “The insights, information flows and longstanding relationships across Northleaf’s mid-market platform enable us to offer a differentiated approach to private credit investing that has resonated with investors.”

NPC II provides investors with exposure to a diversified portfolio of loans to private equity-backed and independent mid-market companies globally. The fund’s flexible investment strategy enables it to invest across the capital structure, from senior secured loans to junior debt and equity investments. To date, NPC II has invested more than 30% of its capital in loans to a diversified portfolio of private companies.

“We are excited about the robust pipeline of opportunities for NPC II,” said David Ross, Managing Director and Head of Private Credit at Northleaf. “Our established team remains highly selective in this environment, adding new borrowers that exhibit defensive and stable characteristics, and strong relative value, with the goal of delivering attractive returns and reliable income to our investors.”
