Portfolio Update
As of March 31, 2024, the Fund had debt investments and equity investments in 192 portfolio companies with an aggregate of $633.3 million (at cost) and an average position size of 0.78%.3 As of March 31, 2024, the Fund’s investments consisted of 81.96% first-lien term loans, 7.96% second-lien debt investments, 8.03% mezzanine debt investments, and 2.05% equity investments (at fair value). As of March 31, 2024, on a fair value basis, 87.34% of the Fund’s debt investments bear interest at a floating rate and 12.66% of the Fund’s debt investments bear a fixed rate. As of March 31, 2024, the weighted average yield on the debt and income producing investments at fair value was 11.21%.4
As of March 31, 2024, our portfolio companies had a weighted average reported EBITDA (including all private debt investments and excluding quoted assets) of $63.8 million. Including all quoted assets as of March 31, 2024, our portfolio companies had a weighted average reported EBITDA of $331.1 million. EBITDA amounts are derived from the most recently available portfolio company financial statements and are weighted based on the fair market value of each respective investment as of its most recent valuation.
1 Total returns are annualized for periods longer than one year.
2 Total return excludes the impact of the upfront sales load.
3 Average position size is calculated as a percentage of the total fair value of the Fund's investment portfolio.
4 The weighted average yield of the Fund's debt and income producing securities is not the same as a return on investment for the Fund's shareholders, but rather relates to the Fund's investment portfolio and is calculated before the payment of all of the Fund's and its subsidiary’s fees and expenses. The weighted average yield was computed using the effective interest rates as of each respective date, including accretion of original issue discount, but excluding investments on non-accrual status, if any. There can be no assurance that the weighted average yield will remain at its current level.
