Antares Capital (“Antares”), a leading alternative credit manager with approximately $90 billion in capital under management and administration, today announced approximately $8.5 billion in total commitments for its third Senior Loan Fund (“SLF III”) and related strategy vehicles, exceeding initial targets.
Drawing on its long-standing presence in the North American private credit market, Antares constructs diversified portfolios of primarily senior secured loans across U.S. and Canadian borrowers. Investors in SLF III include employees alongside family offices, asset managers, insurance companies, and other global institutions. The fundraise saw broad participation from both new and existing investors, highlighting confidence in Antares’ platform and continued institutional demand for private credit.
“We value the strong support from both existing and new investors globally across the SLF III complex,” said Vivek Mathew, President of Antares Capital Advisers LLC. “In a period of heightened manager selectivity, investors are prioritizing platforms with established sourcing capabilities, demonstrated performance across market cycles, and strong alignment of interests through meaningful investment alongside clients.”
“With nearly 30 years of experience, we understand how periods of dislocation tend to separate platforms with true scale, access and experience from the broader market,” said Timothy Lyne, CEO of Antares. “Our ability to consistently originate high-quality opportunities through our large portfolio and long-standing sponsor relationships, combined with a disciplined, cycle-tested underwriting approach, allows us to be patient and highly selective in deploying capital.”
