• Opportunistic Credit Interval Fund (“SOFIX”) hits $100m milestone in April 2024 ahead of 2nd anniversary
• Fund has raised c.$30m since April alone, with SOFIX’s AUM reaching approximately $130m as of May 24th, 2024
• Fund targets attractive risk-adjusted returns via Private Lending & Structured Equity, Specialty Lending, and Dislocated Liquid Credit investments
• The fund focuses on the significant opportunity in the middle market for small and medium businesses, which are turning to non-traditional platforms as bank lending remains muted

BC Partners and Mount Logan Capital, today announced their Opportunistic Credit Interval Fund (“SOFIX” or “The Fund”) hit $100m in assets under management in April, underlining significant investor appetite and conviction in the Fund’s strong track record. Since reaching this important milestone, fund raising has accelerated and SOFIX’s AUM now stands at approximately $130m as of May 24th, 2024.

SOFIX, an all-weather total return strategy, has seen returns of 36.99% since inception with an annualized distribution of 12% as of March 31, 2024. The fund works to target private originations and secondary investments through three approaches: Private Lending & Structured Equity, Specialty Lending, and Dislocated Liquid Credit. SOFIX focuses on a broad sector allocation under these strategies, allowing for a diversified risk profile, with target sectors including financial services, industrials, technology, healthcare and consumer discretionary, among others.

Ted Goldthorpe, Partner and Head of Credit at BC Partners said: “The success of the Fund in drawing $130m in assets under management underlines the strength of our offering and track-record since inception, and builds off the successful opportunistic credit platform we’ve managed for institutional investors since 2017.”

Matthias Ederer, Partner at BC Partners and SOFIX Portfolio Manager added: “We believe the Fund’s flexible mandate and focus on the middle market are key differentiators, especially as large bank lending remains muted and regional banks move away from credit provisions. SOFIX is therefore able to capitalize on opportunities in higher yielding assets with strong downside protection across its target sectors as SMEs turn to non-traditional platforms for capital. Ultimately, we see significant opportunities through this Fund to deliver on investor interest in sourcing all-weather, targeted opportunities across the US and European middle markets.”

The successful raise follows BC Partners’ $400m investment in Riddell, announced in April 2024, with the firm providing a convertible preferred equity and debt commitment to the group to fund future growth and deliver returns to investors. SOFIX invested in both instruments.

The Fund remains open and is available for purchase on Schwab, Fidelity, Pershing, and other custodial platforms. BC Partners’ SOFIX is advised by Mount Logan Management, LLC.
