Credit

Our Approach to Credit

Kohlberg Credit is a natural extension of the firm’s private equity platform, grounded in our sector-focused, thesis-driven approach. We lend to middle market healthcare and services companies, typically backed by private equity sponsors, with stable, predictable cash flows and defensive market positions.

With a focus on capital preservation and achieving attractive risk-adjusted returns, we primarily invest in senior secured credit, with the flexibility to selectively capture junior capital opportunities. Kohlberg’s integrated platform across Credit and Private Equity supports differentiated sourcing, deeper diligence, and active portfolio engagement.
