Thesis
MidOcean Credit Partners, a division of MidOcean Partners founded in 2003, is a New York-based alternative asset manager specializing in credit investments. Established in 2009, it focuses on providing a range of capital solutions across private equity and credit markets, with a particular emphasis on the middle market. The firm manages alternative credit strategies, CLOs, and customized separately managed accounts, and in 2024, expanded into structured equity. Their investment philosophy is value-oriented and opportunistic, targeting less-liquid segments of tradable corporate debt markets, specifically North American 'off-the-run' syndicated senior loans and high yield bonds with smaller issue sizes and limited sell-side coverage. As of December 31, 2025, AUM was $8.5 billion, with other reports indicating $10 billion as of June 2024. The firm also manages private funds with a total gross asset value of $8.476 billion as of March 31, 2026. The firm's typical private equity check size ranges from $50 million to $200 million.
