For debt-specific placements, the investment range is generally $10 million to $100 million. The company employs a wide array of financial instruments, including revolving credit facilities, first and second lien loans, unitranche structures, warrants, mezzanine debt, private high yield, junior capital, and subordinated debt, alongside selective non-control preferred and common equity investments. ARCC also evaluates participation in senior and subordinated debt financings led by other parties and strategically acquires stressed or discounted debt. It frequently assumes a lead or agent role in its transactions and actively seeks board representation in its portfolio companies.
