THL Credit Group provides capital to both public and private companies for growth, recapitalizations, leveraged buyouts, and acquisitions. We have a diversified investment strategy with an emphasis on leveraged loans, mezzanine debt, high yield bonds, structured credit and minority equity investments. THL Credit Group is the credit affiliate of Thomas H. Lee Partners (THL Partners), a premier private equity firm based in Boston with more than $20 billion of capital under management. THL Credit Group benefits from the market knowledge, business relationships and industry expertise of THL Partners.
Our management team is highly experienced in all aspects of corporate, structured and leveraged finance and we have built our careers as investors in the private debt and equity markets. The senior members of our management team have worked together for over ten years. THL Credit Group is headquartered in Boston with investment professionals in Houston and Los Angeles. Our core principles include:
- Integrity - paramount in all of our actions and we hold ourselves to the highest ethical standards.
- Patience – we take a “buy and hold” approach to investing and work with issuers to manage their business through cycles.
- Creativity – our approach is to work with issuers and placement agents to craft a transaction that meets both the issuer’s objectives and ours rather than simply rejecting a potential opportunity outright.
- Responsiveness – we treat each potential transaction as important and give early guidance and feedback to companies and intermediaries.
