Antares Capital Closes $8.5 Billion Senior Loan Fund III

Antares reported approximately $8.5 billion in total commitments across its third Senior Loan Fund and related strategy vehicles, exceeding original targets. The fundraising included both new and existing global institutions, family offices, asset managers and insurers. The strategy originates predominantly senior secured loans for U.S. and Canadian middle-market borrowers. Vivek Mathew, president of Antares Capital Advisers, and CEO Timothy Lyne emphasized sourcing and underwriting discipline. The $8.5 billion is a combined fundraising total for the fund complex, not a verified closed size of the core fund alone and not Antares' corporate assets under management.
